Yes it would be messy but you could nest three Alerts and make each
dependent on the previous being down.
E.g.
Check 1 ----> Alert When down
^---- Check 2 ----> Depands on check 1 being down restart
service
^----Check 3 ----> Depands on Check 2 being down
issue Critical Alert

Ah, I see what you mean. I think you could still layer multiple alerts
to emulate that behavior, but it wouldn't be pretty. Multi-step
conditional alerts like what you describe would be VERY useful.
