I should have mentioned that whether this works depends on who the default,
non-escalated, contacts are for the host or service. In your case, since you
have last_notification set to 3, those contacts in your escalation will not
get a recovery notification that is numbered 5 or greater unless they also
happen to be the default contact for the host or service, which will get the
problem notification number 4 and all non-escalated notifications. If you
escalate a notification to a contact that is not assigned as a regular contact
for the host or service, those contacts don't get the recovery notification
(unless they also got the previous problem notification) even if you set up a
separate escalation for the recovery notification that specifies all previous
contacts.
