Services are dependent on the host they run on?

What host/service check interval/max check attempts do you use?
Maybe the host check interval is much longer than the service check interval.
If the services become hard state critical before the host check does, the service notifications will be sent, as Nagios isn't aware of the host problem.
I don't know how Nagios behaves if the host is only in soft state?
