  Usually you put the common used things at the lowest level where it can still
be seen by folders who need it. If, however, you end up with all of them 
needing to be in the root folder, you can split into subfolders. For example,
put all your SQL methods into a folder named "DB", then refer the methods like
this:
<dtml-in "DB.method()">
instead of:
<dtml-in method>
