If you have multiple moons, do they behave in a standard way?

If my planet has two moons, assuming they have separate orbits, is there a "typical" equilibrium that they are likely to find? Does a moon of a particular size tend towards a certain distance or orbital period, or are these more or less arbitrary depending on other parameters of the system?
