This is kind of how it worked out for me. Once Ada forced me into nesting what would have otherwise been living in other packages, my ambitions for file organization went down the drain. And it didn't help that I was on strict deadline by this point in time.

This has not been an issue for me. A basic principle for me is to avoid writing 
executable code for as long as possible (though I write specs as soon as 
possible). On tool I use for this is subunits ("separate"), which you are 
investigating in other posts, so perhaps we reached similar destinations by 
different paths.
