That's a perfectly fine way to solve the problem at hand.
You're simply doing several, separate, things with/on the same element,
and the properties/values you have used do *not* exclude each other.
- containment of floats - 'float: left'.
Floats will expand to contain floating children in accordance with
rules for 'block formatting context'[1].
- positioning of container - 'float: left'.
Floats do position themselves in accordance with float rules[2].
- establishing a relationship for absolute positioned child -
'position: relative'.
Relative positioning[3] can be used to offset elements - even
floating ones, and/or to establish a relationship - a base - for A:P
children.
There are other ways to achieve the same, but they are no better than
the solution you have now, IMO.
