Most likely because somewhere in httpd.conf there's a line saying
Include /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf.
The server obediently parses the nagios.conf file twice, and the second
time it finds aliases already defined (naturally). If you remove the
include-line you uncommented earlier, I'm sure you'll be rid of the
warning and everything will still work just fine.
