My positioning is similar for single scores, where I have:

   version
   language
   includes
   header
 . miditempo (if used just for proofreading)
 . global staff size
 . paper
 . default layout
   parts (global, SATB, lyrics)
   score

which keeps the "tunables" together.

But I often need multiple scores (a cappella choral, a piano reduction,
or vocal on two and four staves) from the same parts. For those, I put
each score in a \book, prefixed with its individual global staff size
(and there may be specific layout options and extra headers added to
the end of each type of score).

Cheers,
David.
