[TYPO3-mvc] Sub folders inside folder Controller

For what reason do you want to use subfolders in your Model? They just 
contain 1 file (the appropriate Domain Model Class) and so it makes no 
sense to store it there. Just put all Domain Model Classes inside 
Classes/Domain/Model and you are fine.

For the same reason there is no need to have a subfolder for your 
Controller as you have just one Controller for every Domain Model - so 
put all Controllers inside the Classes/Controller/ dir.

The paradigm behind Extbase is "Convention over Configuration" - so if 
you use the conventions everything works like a charm. Your approach (to 
create direcories just to contain a single class inside) brings no 	 
advantage at all - so it's better avoid it and use the given structure.

Bye
Patrick
