that all of the options for a host should be located in the same definition.
rather than having a large file with a hosts section, then a seperate
hostgroups section, and a seperate hostextinfo section (hey, this reminds me
of Netsaint).

Already done here, too
I have hostgroups, hosts and services for all subscribers of
a particular category in one file. Only service to monitor for
subscribers is "ping", of course.
I just found the "hostgroup in service definition" feature in
the "Time Savers" section of the docs - great. Now if I only
could get rid of statements like:

Yep - that would do the trick for me, too.
