I have a somewhat broader view of a hal file. I tend to build the logic I 
need, then treat it as a logic block, at least in my mind. But I try to 
keep that function block in a single, hopefully well commented stanza of 
the hal file so if I have to go back later and "fix it", I have as much 
of it as will fit on screen, in one screen full. I don't always succeed 
of course. :)
