I might have misunderstood what you're trying to achieve, but if you're
using an event_handler for filing the trouble ticket anyway, you can
take care of only filing it once (for example, only when the service
initially goes into a hard error state) within the event handler script.
See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/eventhandlers.html on how to
distinguish between the various states within the script.

However, I suppose you _don't_ want to use an event_handler for plain
e-mail notifications?  So you can then just use the usual configuration
directives for them, ignoring the trouble ticket stuff which is handled
by your event_handler.  No?

Note that you can group services using a servicegroup definition which
can then be referenced in the serviceescalation definition.
