couldn't you just have one folder and use contexts and then view your to-do list by a specific context?
In my big mass collect folder I would have all my tasks that relate to financial planning for instance have a context called financial then when i have time to look at my financial to-do's I simply click on the financial context in my to-do view and all my "active" financal related tasks are now there waiting to be done. sure the "outline" may look big and cumbersome with all the tasks randomly displayed where ever they went in at but who cares because when i use the to do view I can look at just what I want.
