Ok. Do you only one permissions or ownership too ?
You can control permissions with umask (man umask), but not as directory
feature. (you'll need to manipulate umask before creating the files in
that directory).
If you have a case where you want to create files with the group
automatically set to a certain group, use the sticky bit:
drwxrsxr-x 1 root somegroup 4096 {DATE HERE} dir/
when you do touch dir/file, it will be created with group=somegroup.
If you do umask 002, it will be created with ug+rw,o+r (example).
