Generalized Coordinate Systems

Does anybody know if the coordinates used in central force motion are considered to be generalized in the sense of Lagrangian mechanics?

It seems to me that they would not be generalized, since it seems like they are not independent, yet for some reason I cannot convince myself of this.
