I think you misunderstood. The cfg_file directive in nagios.cfg names an 
object configuration file. That file can contain any kind of object 
(host, contact, service, contactgroup, timeperiod, you name it). What 
the files are called has nothing to do with things except for 
traditional purposes, where hosts are kept in hosts.cfg, services in 
services.cfg and so on. I'm sure you get the picture.
