Fusebox 101: Where to place your XFAs

Now this may be very much a personal approach but I thought I would say where I place my XFAs after my previous XFA post.

If an XFA is specific to a fuseaction then place it within that fuseaction.

If they are being used across a circuit then place them in that circuit in a prefuseaction.

If they are being used for the entire site (i.e. top site navigation) then I place them in my layout circuit as a prefuseaction. My layout fuseaction then gets called at the end of the request.

Do you do anything wildly different?

Great post though - I'm sure it will answer lots of peoples questions on this.

It's something not many people describe in tutorials on fusebox they just say USE THEM
