Do you mean coldest and warmest? or am I not understanding?
I don't think it should really matter, as long as the freezer thermostat isn't set warmer than the temp controller, but I'm sure that would be hard to achieve.
The temp controller will still operate the same, by cutting off the power when the desired temp is reached. So the freezer thermostat is somewhat bypassed.

Well, the warmest temp in the chest freezer is probably still below 32F. You can set it at its coldest, and the temp controller will still do its job.

Your chest freezer should be at the coldest setting this allows the external thermostat a full operating range to work no matter what temp you put it at
