We discussed that topic in some earlier threads (see 19.12.2008 "Naming 
Conventions..." and 16.6.2009 "Thoughts regarding..."). But there is no 
final conclusion about that. In my opinion, we should have something like

extbase_example
   - Classes
     - Controller
     - Domain
       - Model
     - View
     - ViewHelpers
   - Configuration
     - FlexForms
     - TCA
     - TypoScript
   - Modules
   - Services
     - AuthenticationService
   - [other top-level folders holding legacy stuff]
   - Resources
     - Private
       - Icons
       - Language
       - PHP
       - Templates
     - Public

The folders "Modules" and "Services" are holding only legacy stuff. In 
case of BE-modules we are striving for a solution having all the classes 
and configuration in the appropriate extbase folders. In the end the 
folder "Modules" will become obsolete.

I don't like the idea of having these folders in "Resources" because 
they aren't resources. Only libraries coming from "outside" should be 
treated as resources IMHO.
