You need a structure of this kind:

Music
-/Lossless
-/Lossless/FLAC
-/Lossy
-/Lossy/MP3fromFLAC
-/Lossy/MP3
SC
-/SC/main


Then, you put:
>all flacs in /Lossless/FLAC
>all files converted from FLAC in /Lossy/MP3fromFLAC
>all MP3 originals (not from flacs) in /Lossy/MP3

For your iPod:
you'll have to import /Lossy directory

For your Squeeze Center:
you create two shorcuts in "/SC/main" directory: 
one to "/Lossless/FLAC"
one to "/Lossy/MP3"
you change the Squeeze Center music library directory to "/SC/main"


Hope this helps.
