Thanks in advance.

Perhaps it would be easier if you explained why you need to know? It is often easier to know the core reason rather than trying to find an answer to a "solution".
The Exchange services start in the correct order on their own. You cannot manipulate that. They also have dependencies, outside of the Exchange services. Exchange is dependant on many of the IIS based services for example.

Apologies, I should of been more specific.
I have a some monitoring software which checks the status of exchange services, it also send routing emails to test emails are being sent correctly.
If it detects a service is in a 'stopped' state it can perform many actions, I wanted to set it to restart all the exchange services in the correct order, if that fails it then sends all the admins a SMS message.
Thankyou.

Sembee,
Many thanks for your advice. The more I think about it, I have also never seen an exchange service fail. The only real reason for setting up the software to monitor the exchange services was for when the server is restarted. It normally always dont start all the exchange services on reboot but I think I will use the scrips you suggested instead.
Many thanks again. I have awarded you 200 points and elbereth21 50.
