I can imagine that using copy books incorrectly could cause problemjs,
but using copy books at all will almost certainly lead to all kinds of
problems if you have the situation where two modules need to define
something the same.

Binding directories is a separate thing entirely. You can easily manage
without binding directories by explicitly listing the necessary modules
and service programs on your CRTPGM and CRTSRVPGM commands, assuming you
have those in somethink like a CL program.
