In my experience, good code organization is a product of design. High-level 
design identifies high-level S/W entities (usually packages). Next-level design 
identifies next-level S/W entities inside the top-level entities (often private 
child pkgs), and so on.

If you start coding before that, it's difficult to retrofit a good organization 
to the code.
