I like your idea, and to an extent I do that myself. If you read my <a href="http://www.contentwithstyle.co.uk/Articles/17/a-css-framework" rel="nofollow">CSS Framework</a> article you'll find that I implement a library of layouts that I reuse across projects. I tend to limit my modules to the most I can keep in my head at one time, which isn't all that many. It makes debugging a bit simple. Someone with a decent short-term memory could probably get away with more!<br /><br />I don't go for subdirectories within my css folder because I often reuse them between media types. The typo and forms sheets normaly make up the basis of print.css, for example, and then I just over-ride the body's font size to pts - I use the Noodle Incident text sizing technique so this is carried through all the elements.
