Hi Charlie,
I know what you mean, I did many redesign stuff and find out that I wasn't
able to understand my own css file (that was awful).
You can see a sample at http://www.echo3d.com/css/screen.css
It "looks" complex but if you pay attention, you'll see that everything is
in order.
Here is some simple rules I apply and know what? I am not lost anymore in my
CSS :)

4 simple rules :
1.0 Divide your one and only (I split CSS only for different media, not for
different part of design.) CSS structure into 3 main themes like
/* GENERIC ELEMENTS : HTML 4.01 */
/* SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTES : ID */
/* RECURRING ATTRIBUTES : CLASS */
2.0 Use alphabetic because code should not rule the way you design (think
about when you start shifting stuff on top and moving others on bottom)
/* GENERIC ELEMENTS : HTML 4.01 */
a {
}
abbr {
}
acronym {
}
/* SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTES : ID */
/* RECURRING ATTRIBUTES : CLASS */
3.0 Make good use of descendant selectors
/* GENERIC ELEMENTS : HTML 4.01 */
a {
}
abbr {
}
acronym {
}
h1 {
}
h1 em {
}
h1 em a {
}
/* SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTES : ID */
/* RECURRING ATTRIBUTES : CLASS */
4.0 Choose the appropriate terminology to keep alphabetic order logical and
respect it no matter what (avoid terms like "red-text" or "1em" in your
class or id name)
/* GENERIC ELEMENTS : HTML 4.01 */
a {
}
abbr {
}
acronym {
}
h1 {
}
h1 em {
}
h1 em a {
}
/* SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTES : ID */
div#content {
}
div#content_body {
}
div#content_foot {
}
div#content_head {
/* RECURRING ATTRIBUTES : CLASS */
