certainly not.

just put both in the same contact definition, see 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#contact and see 
the Directive Description for host-notification-commands which says 
"...Multiple notification commands should be separated by commas...". 
Just make sure you have both notification commands defined in 
misccommand.cfg since this uses the short command names which should be 
defined there.

hope that helps.
