No notification options take precedence over any other (well, they do 
programmatically, but not logically). Think of Nagios as a lazy bastard 
that will check everything to see if it can get away without doing any 
actual work and you will most often get things right.

When I said that the two different (and seemingly colliding) 
configuration parameters you posted above are one and the same, I meant 
that setting them the way you showed (notification_options n, 
notifications_enabled 0) *results* in the same thing. I.e., you get no 
notifications. Inside Nagios they are separate variables. Nagios uses 
"notifications_enabled" internally for when you use the GUI to disable 
notifications for a certain host or service.
