It's a "where appropriate" rule, when the skills have some relevance to one another, and is only to be allowed at the GM's approval.
For example, a Science (Mathematics) skill might be halved for a Science (Physics) skill attempt, but a Language (Spanish) would not be useful for a Language (Sanskrit) skill attempt.
The
infinite number of potential combinations prevents any hard-and-fast rule about it, or equivalency chart, so the GM should be the final arbiter.
