Hmm... a bit of a long time to res. after, but you said some interesting things.
Pretty much all of those construction techniques are fairly well known, if by different names and with slightly different styles. Basic concept programming is always a plus, and the multi-layered programming is similar to some of the matrix-shielding/thread-cons/ various other techniques that are used to apply multiple instructions to one construct.
I tend to use concept programming, doing things very quickly. Occasionally I will decompose the process into a series of steps if the construct is too complex or I haven’t conceptualized it yet, but those are fairly rare occasions now-a-days.

Where as I do not attempt a construct unless I have a concept for it. Most of mine are simply to complicated to pull together in a series of programing steps. Even my 'fun' constructs. Now when I build matrixes (similar to the multi layered). I will typically build all of the individual layers separately then 'merge' them so I do not risk making a mistake with an overly complex concept. Even there, the only actual 'steps' involved are "make all concept programmed constructs" and "Merge". It also makes it easier to repair individual shields (what I most commonly use in 'matrix' format). I can withdraw parts of the matrix to repair programing, when it goes beyond just a general recharge or has taken damage beyond just time-based degradation.
Which leads to a secondary programing question: To what extent do you blend the different kinds of programing? I use steps in my organization of my thoughts and finding a concept that will do everything I want more smoothly than I could. (Face it with complex constructs you're going to leave a detail out no matter how hard you try. The concept usually encompasses the small details that frequently get left out and can weaken the integrity of the construct.) What programing methods do you find most useful in an emergency?
