While it's true Nagios 3 supports multiple inheritance, it doesn't combine the
values from both templates; it will only use the value from the second if they
do not exist in the first:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html#multiple_templates
You'll need to define a timeperiod that covers the entire range you want
notifications to be sent out.
