Best practice ... structured programming in LabVIEW?

We also have to account for "it got big enough to make into a sub-VI".  If I put a front-panel item into that then it changes the overall function when we make it into a sub-vi.  It causes a loss of function.

You have to be aware that by using the "Create SubVI" feature, it enforces a certain dataflow.  Occasionally this can change how your parent VI executes.  Hint: If you code according to LabVIEW "best practices", you rarely run into this kind of thing.  😉
