This is my experience.

a) For a well defined board like butterfly and a limited project I  
put all my *.asm files in the words dictionary of its appl folder, e.g.:
   amforth-4.1/appl/avr-butterfly/words/*.asm
And dict_appl.inc includes all these *.asm files then.
So they are added on top of amforths core and options.

b) I have a project where 6 small boards of same type but with  
different assignment of tasks. Such a board has an atmega168 and 4  
triacs to switch 220V devices, 4 temperature sensor inputs, and 3  
leds. They run at different speeds (8MHz, 12Mhz, 20Mhz) for  
historical reasons. Some are older, some where added later.
This zoo got messed up while I was developing it the a) way.

So now I try this order:

- changes in amforth core which are the same for all devices stay in
    amforth-x.x/core/words
    They are included by amforth.asm as usual.

- Extensions of amforth used in all devices go to
    amforth-x.x/appl/<project>/words
    They are included running <project-x.asm> which includes  
amforth.asm that includes
    dict_appl.inc then, where all words of general use are included.
    So this is just the same as encouraged by the appl template in  
amforth.

- specific tasks for a device go to
    amforth-x.x/appl/<project>/<task-x>/words
    Now <project-x.asm> finaly - after having included amforth.asm -  
includes all
    specific task words by including one <task-x.inc>.
    This <task-x.inc> then includes all the words in ../<task-x>/words.

So I hope things work out now this way. :)
