Ok, I'll look that up for you. You owe me a local beer though.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html

Object Configuration Directory

Format: 		cfg_dir=<directory_name>
Example: 	cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands
			cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services
			cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts

This directive is used to specify a directory which contains object  
configuration files that Nagios should use for monitoring. All files  
in the directory with a .cfg extension are processed as object config  
files. Additionally, Nagios will recursively process all config files  
in subdirectories of the directory you specify here. You can seperate  
your configuration files into different directories and specify  
multiple cfg_dir= statements to have all config files in each  
directory processed.
