Mathematical summary:
=========================
Even though you started with:
10% chance to Parry
10% chance to Riposte
10% chance to Dodge
10% chance to Block
Does NOT mean only 60% of hits will get through!!!
In reality:
In this example, for every time a mob attacks you there is:
10 % chance you Parry it
9 % chance you Riposte it
8.1 % chance you Dodge it
7.29 % chance you Block it
and a 65.61% chance the mob hits you
So Block has a 10% chance to work, but an effective use of 7.29% because of earlier defensive checks.

What is the context for this? As far as I know there are no classes in the game that get block and parry. It's one or the other. Parry or Block get checked first from my understanding, depending on which one you have.
You are correct that earlier checks make subsequent checks less likely, as they are checked in sequential order. That is why you generally see more Parries/Blocks than Dodges and Ripostes.
