Subprojects within Subprojects (keeping things tidy)

I've been trying to come up with a more modular workflow for working with transition effects and sample development. I like the idea of being non-destructive, and that's where subprojects are cool.

It seems quite hard to control though, as far as keeping track of audio is concerned. At least, this is the case for me since I frequently use the "clean project directory" command. If you use this command from the top-level project, it seems to pay attention to audio retained in the subprojects one level down, but if you have any subprojects within those subprojects, it is oblivious to any audio retained in those, and will delete it.

I doubt this is supposed to be intended. Am I right in thinking that audio and related media for subprojects should be individually governed by themselves while the master project observes? Or is it more proper to have the master retain all of the audio while the subprojects simply reference it? That seems like a nightmare to keep track of.

Another option is to not use subprojects at all, and use separate regular projects that render an audio file that other projects can reference. This has its benefits, but has the downside of not being as closely integrated with the main project.

Basically, I'm trying to evaluate if my idea of this workflow is functionally adequate. If anyone has any ideas for me, or if you can simply talk about the workflow you use, I would find it most helpful. Thanks!
