Hugo, actually setting last_notification to 0 is valid, and it means 
nagios will use this escalation /ad infinitum /(in case there are no 
other escalation "overwriting" these settings - in which case nagios 
send notifications in the smallest time frame defined), as we can see on 
manual 
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#serviceescalation):

/*last_notification*: This directive is a number that identifies the 
//last notification for which this escalation is effective. For 
instance, if you set this value to 5, this escalation will not be used 
if more than five notifications are sent out for the service. Setting 
this value to 0 means to keep using this escalation entry forever (no 
matter how many notifications go out)./_/

Pavel, I haven't understood your problem: does nagios send notifications 
for both groups since the first notification?

And as Hugo has said, you are misinterpretting the docs for escalations: 
they are not defined to be sent notifications to system-group after 60 
and 90 minutes, they mean they are going to be sent every 60 minutes 
from notifications number 3 to 5, and every 90 minutes from the sixth 
notification on.
