I think you are wrong. You can make a group per service. You can assign
the group to the host in the host definition. Define the service on the
group et voila problem solved.

example

define service{
=EF=BB=BF service_description MYSERVICE
use some-defaults
hostgroup_name group-myservice
check_command somecheck
}

define group{
hostgroup_name group-mysqervice
alias All hosts running MYSERVICE
}

define host[
use some-host-defaults
name MYHOST
hostgroups +group-myservice

}
