If you don't specify in the manifest that the components should have different process names, they'll be in the same process.
You can even put components from different .apk's into the same process by giving them the same process name -- so long as they're signed by the same cert. Or maybe the same key; I forget which way they set it up. Generally the same thing either way. A component dying (say, a GUI) will not take out other components (e.g. a service). It's not like C++ where a small bug in one component will corrupt memory. That's not to say that bugs in one can't affect another, but not nearly to the same degree.
