This syntax works for me in service escalations (service and host 
groups), as well as service definitions.  I've not tried it in 
hostgroups however.  The behavior is sort of defined here 
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html).

define serviceescalation {
    name                       escalation
    register                    0

    servicegroup_name           *,!notify-web
    escalation_period           24x7
    escalation_options          c,u,r
}
