Once I'm happy with my tool paths, I select the ones for the top, post process to a "top" file, same for bottom and then holes. Run the holder drills first, use pegs to hold the blank in place, then run bottom, flip blank and run top (or top first, then bottom depending on what I'm doing). Since I have to manually intervene to flip, I don't see the need to have everything in one file.
This is how I do it, as well. In addition, I often have projects where I zero off the top of the piece for one profile and then off the spoilboard for another, so multiple files are the norm for me.
