Are the command arguments passed in a scope?
Such as check_groovy!WARN!CRIT
If so, you could do arg1 and arg2
The best solution is to code the output of the service check. The above will not work for all checks as some do reverse, and others have different arguments.
I am simply presenting a different point of view.

If only ...
Seriously though, a warning or critical state in Nagios isn't
necessarily anything to do with a threshold. For example, you could
have a check_groovy plugin which warns if the colour is silver or
white and is critical if the colour is navy or grey. There's no
threshold so nothing to store in a macro.
If you want to output both warning and critical values, you will need
to re-write the plugin to show them explicitly. So, for example if
you have a check_mydisk plugin which outputs "warning: disk is 82%
(>80%)" you will need to re-code it to say "warning: disk is 82% (>
80% < 90%)" or somesuch instead. Most people who write plugins prefer
brevity so you'll rarely see a plugin which (except in the performance
data) outputs both.
Push comes to shove you could write a wrapper script around an
existing plugin which scrapes the warning and critical thresholds from
the performance data, but personally I think that would be overkill.
hth,
Jim
