Hi Marcos,

While it is possible to keep everything in one VCX, it is not a good design for bigger applications. You should separate the classes by functionality and inheritance levels. A smaller building blocks (VCXes) are easier to maintain and reuse.
Even small application will benefit from using the framework.

A good idea will be to look how the commercial frameworks are organized, if you want to build your own. If you are not using the commercial or one of the free frameworks, you must, rather than reinventing the wheel. It will save tons of time for developing and testing many classes/utilities that already exist in the frameworks.
