You can't (yet) make up new directives within a definition (i.e. your 'winpopup' directive). You'll have to hijack an existing directive, use a $ARGn$ macro or a $USERn$ macro.

Judging by your host-notify-by-winpopup command, you're intending to hijack the contact pager definition ($CONTACTPAGER$) for the hostname so you'll want to set --

# 'hugo' contact definition
define contact{
        contact_name                                hugo
        alias                                                 Hugo Rebello
        service_notification_period         work
        host_notification_period              work
        service_notification_options        w,c,r
        host_notification_options             d,u,r
        service_notification_commands  notify-by-email
        host_notification_commands       host-notify-by-email,host-notify-by-winpopup
        email                                                test at teste.com
        pager                                         myhostname
        }
