This paper is the first in a series of three which attempt to resolve the difficulties that have plagued the $NN-\pi NN$ problem for the past ten years. Various theoretical inconsistencies in the current formulation have been pointed out and this work aims to eliminate these inconsistencies and so, we hope, produce agreement with experiment. This is to be done by using covariant perturbation theory, in which these inconsistencies are not present. The covariant perturbation theory is developed starting from a model Lagrangian, in order to fix notation and phases. It is shown that both old-fashioned "time-ordered" perturbation theory and the convolution integral of Kvinikhidze and Blankleider may be recovered from the covariant perturbation theory when certain approximations are made. The connection of these results with the work of Klein, L\'evy, Macke and Kadyshevsky is discussed. Two forthcoming papers will pursue this covariant calculation in the $NN-\pi NN$ system using the model and perturbation scheme developed in this paper and derive fully covariant $NN-\pi NN$ equations without the double counting problems present in previous covariant equations.
