I am not sure I saw one particular thing covered - when I build render passes new geo gets added along the way after setting up the initial passes. When I do this I need to put this geo into a new partition and create a new pass for that geo. The new geo needs to be handled in the existing passes too, so D&D'ing partitions with content and overrides between passes is an important part of my workflow.
And I also welcome this dialogue Laurence - I also know some Maya artists in my company that will find it extremely welcom ;)

By Jove, I think he's got it!;-)One question -- might just be a terminology/translation issue between Mayan and Softese -- in point 3, when you say "without entering the layer," I assume you mean what currently happens when you click on/highlight the layer. If that's correct, then yeah, you'd be modeling Soft's pass editor (explorer) workflow, which allows you to see the structure of a pass without actually being "in" the pass. In Soft, to "enter" the pass, we have a context menu item called "make (selected) pass current."
