I think you are wrong. You can make a group per service. You can assign
the group to the host in the host definition. Define the service on the
group et voila problem solved.

example

define service{
        service_description             MYSERVICE
        use                             some-defaults
        hostgroup_name                  group-myservice
        check_command                   somecheck
}

define group{
        hostgroup_name                  group-mysqervice
        alias                           All hosts running MYSERVICE
}

define host[
        use                             some-host-defaults
        name                            MYHOST
        hostgroups                      +group-myservice

}
