No, to the best of my knowledge, there is no service status correlation
that happens. If any single service fails on a host, a host check is
initiated unless the last check of a host showed it being down or
unreachable (my interpretation of checks.c and I'm not a programmer ;)
). You could of course test this fairly easily if it's that important to
you.
