notification_interval -- http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service

yes, I believe an escalation would do for this. I haven't done this  
but I expect you could set your first notification to the number of  
the last notification you want to receive (i.e. 3 for the third  
notification) and your last notification to some high number (99).  
Create a contact with a notification period of 'none' and set it as  
the contact for the escalation.
