There are no hard and fast rules that I use, with the exception that 
underscores are a no-no.  I can't stand them in filenames.  Hyphens are 
the one true way to separate words in URLs. :)

As for a directory structure which may be related to your question, I use 
the following structure (sans the application specific directories), 
though NYPHP Phundamentals has a whole include location how to.
