I don't know if it's the _best_ and _most flexible_ structure, but it
definitely looks like a _good_ and _flexible_ structure. 
You can modularely exchange files at any level, and you can include any
style with one line in your main .ly file.
(Just one question: Why is 6. named as it is?)
I'd suggest to go for it.

And I think we all would be quite interested in your results ;-)
