David,

at binding time (CRTPGM, CRTBND..., CRTSRVPGM) only those
modules are bound, which are needed to resolve needed imports
(prototypes or import keyword).
The risc with a central binding directory is to have the
same export name more than once, then you will come in
trouble. Good praxis is, to prefix all exports with the
module name to guarantee uniqueness of export names, then it
doesn't matter how many binding directories you are using. I
prefer to specify all needed modules and Service programms
with the crt command, it's better for readability. I write
the CRT Statements as a comment to the source and have a
little preprocessor (its Freeware and available at my WebSite
bender-dv.de (sorry, the site is german, but this should be
no problem for you, I suppose?).
