My theory is that good intonation happens before you play the note.  You know 
the piece, you know what note is coming next, you know how it's going to fit in 
the chord and you hear the general pitch happening around you.  You play that 
next note straight ahead where you hear it should be and most of the time it's 
going to be good, if your sense of harmony is good.  You can do a little 
reacting and fudging if you have to, but for the most part if you're only 
reacting, waiting for somebody else to set the pitch, it's going to be too late 
to sound good.
