Permanodes are the anchors that keep your data alive and visible, so
yes, your files should usually be somehow reachable through a
permanode. Although it's not always direct; e.g. there could be a
permanode only for a directory (static-set), but no permanode for each
of the files in that directory (the static-set entries).

A rule of thumb to keep in mind for later: the garbage collector will
start enumerating from the known roots and mark everything it can
reach from there on. So if one of your files is not reachable through
any schema relation (say as the camliContent of a permanode), it would
not be marked, and would eventually be collected. Which is fair game
since you wouldn't be able to find it back anyway.
