LLZ and Glideslope Capture

Can any Boeing drivers comment on weather it is possible to capture the glideslope before the Localizer?

Imagine you are conducting a continuous descent in VS with APR armed and you slowly pass through the glideslope from above (not ideal I know). Will glideslope green annunciate on the FMA if the localizer has not already been captured, or is it normal to select LOC on the MCP if it is thought that glideslope capture might occur first?
