Error: Service description, host name, or check command is N

I’m sure I’m just missing something really, really silly, but as this is my first time playing with Nagios, it wouldn’t surprise me.

So here is how I am set up:
CentOS 4.4
nagios 2.8 installed from tarball

installed in /usr/local/nagios
I’ve broken up the config files so that the switches are all together, servers all together, etc.
The switches are:
/usr/local/nagios/etc/Monitored-Objects/Switches

Here is where I think I made the mistake. I tried to use object inheritance, and have a generic service file (ServiceTemplate.cfg) that contains the following:

define service{
        name                            Switch-service           ; The name of this service template
        use                             generic-service         ; Inherit default values from the generic-service definition
        check_period                    24x7                    ; The service can be checked at any time of the day
        max_check_attempts              4                       ; Re-check the service up to 4 times in order to determine its final (hard) state
        normal_check_interval           5                       ; Check the service every 5 minutes under normal conditions
        retry_check_interval            1                       ; Re-check the service every minute until a hard state can be determined
        contact_groups                  network_admins                  ; Notifications get sent out to everyone in the 'admins' group
        notification_options            w,u,c,r                 ; Send notifications about warning, unknown, critical, and recovery events
        notification_interval           60                      ; Re-notify about service problems every hour
        notification_period             24x7                    ; Notifications can be sent out at any time
        register                        0                       ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
        }

and then below it I have:

# Define a service to check the load on the local machine.

define service{
        use                             Switch-service         ; Name of service template to use
        name                            currentLoad-HP
        service_description             Current Load
        check_command                   check_local_load!5.0,4.0,3.0!10.0,6.0,4.0

In my CoreSwitch.cfg file, I have:

# Define a service to check the load on the local machine.

define service{
        use                             currentLoad-HP         ; Name of service template to use
        host_name                       CoreSwitch
        name                            CoreSwitchCurrentLoad
        }

Yet when I run nagios -v nagios.cfg, I keep getting the error "
Error: Service description, host name, or check command is NULL
Error: Could not register service (config file ‘/usr/local/nagios/etc/Monitored-Objects/Switches/ServiceTemplate.cfg’, starting on line 41)

Was trying to use inheritance a bad idea? Or am I just missing something small?
