That would be odd since Remy's been on this mailing list at least as  
long as I have.

Remy:
When you tell Nagios to include directories filled with configuration  
files, instead of separate config files, it will include -all- files  
in these directories. This means that you can choose to either:
A) make one big hosts.cfg file, or
B) split the hosts.cfg file into as many files as you like and then  
distribute them among these directories.

But strictly speaking you don't -have- to have these definitions in  
each directory, nor do you have to use the default directories. For  
all I care you make a bajillion subdirectories, all with a numerical  
name. Very organised :p

Cheers!
