Thanks for your response! I thought I may be in the weeds using modules... Good to know it is probably ok to set it up that way. My big concern I guess is when the initial request for a page comes in - no matter how deep you are in the site - the request still hits the index.php page first, then the mainfile that directs it to the template generator and builds the 'page' and marrys it to the content which is retrieved in the module. Do you know of a way to decrease the number of files a request "passes" through like this? I don't know if one even exits but I get the feeling I'm missing something about this part of a PHP website....

Thanks!

I always say as long as you decide on a structure up front and stay consistent in how you implement and arrange the structure, a variety of ways will work. Certain either the separate directories for modules or the template generator will work.

Now, personally, I would probably go with separate directories for modules just to, well, modularize everything. That way if something breaks, you know which module to take a look at, and don't have to wade through tons of code.
