hobbit-alerts parsing order

[Rob Munsch <rmunsch (at) solutionsforprogress.com>]

hello list,

i'm having some trouble with my alert priorities.  I can't find anything 
definitive in docs or archives about the order that hobbit-alerts is 
parsed in (frex, should Service come before Host?).  Generally, some 
rules aren't getting matched on events, and no "STOP"ped rules before 
them are matching, so I'm not sure why.

ATM i have some host-specific rules near the top that have NO rules for 
conn.
Later in the file is a SERVICE=conn.
When one of the hosts that matches for HOST= loses conn, i get no alerts.
I had assumed that if a service was left out of a HOST block, then the 
SERVICE= blocks would catch them.  Was this wrong, or have I done 
something else..?

Thanks,
