Maybe it's time for some experiments, I'll try to break the dependencies to a bare minimum as suggested by L. Spiro.

This is the most important part. Now that you have a few different advices from people, there is really no way for you to know which is the best advice until you try them. As you pick one and implement it, you will inevitably encounter issues and see problems with your solution. At this point you may realize how to tweak it, in some cases, or you may realize that a totally different solution was much better. More importantly, you will better understand why some things are bad and why some things are good. A few years later, that understanding may change too

Have fun man!

As you pick one and implement it, you will inevitably encounter issues and see problems with your solution. At this point you may realize how to tweak it, in some cases, or you may realize that a totally different solution was much better. More importantly, you will understand why - both some things are bad and why some things are good.
