Service/host specific notifications

[Boeckman, Matthew]

Hello list, I'm trying to get my head around nagios' flexibility on
notification. My goal is to have certain services alert certain
individuals via email and alert those same individuals via txt message
only if services/hosts are critical. 

My approach I think is to define contacts that use two different
templates: generic (full notification options) and cell (only d,u,r and
u,c,r), then call those templates in my contact definitions. 

My question is in the assigning of those contacts to services. If I have
a generic-service template with contact admin, and a cell-service
template that includes generic-service and needs to also alert
admincell, can it inherit the existing contact definitions, or do I have
to spell them out again :

Contact_groups		admincell

Or

Contact_groups		admin,admincell

? I saw this page on inheritance
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html that
stipulates you can use a + for service/host _escalations_ but does not
directly call out the way inheritence works for contacts in regular
service or host definitions.

I hope this was clear, thanks in advance!
