Brake Hose Bolt Question

Brake Hose Bolt Question
When replacing my rear calpiers last night, I had a question on the brake hose bolt. The bolt has a upper hole and a lower hole. The fluid flows in the uppper hole and out the lower hole. The brake hose also has a hole in it. Do the brake hose hole and the upper bolt hole have to line up, or does the fluid get in there no matter what due to the pressure?

I was just thinking this myself yesterday. Not only when I was looking at my SS clutch line, I was thinking "damn . . . do I have to tighten the bolt down and line it up?!" and I was planning on it. plus when changing my rear pads, I need to replace one of the calipers and I thought the same thing again.
