We use host and service escalations to achieve this, just set the
escalation first_notification value to 1 and the escalation will kick
in along with the first service-based notification.

So far the down sides I am seeing of doing this are that escalated
contacts have no way of receiving:
* downtime notices
* flapping notices
* comment notices

If anyone knows a workaround for that limitation, would love to hear it.

So the above methodology works very well for service and host alerts
but not for the other types of alerts Nagios sends out .. I am trying
to figure out how to re-add those other alerts without doing service
copies as I really like (as it sounds like you do) the configuration
efficiency of mapping hosts -> hostsgroups and services to hostgroups.
