You are free to modify any user files, they are never overwritten. Files in flows/ are generally scoped to the Spring context created by WebFlow when it instantiates each flow. Files in conf/ that aren't loaded as resources into specific services (the resolver, filter, etc.) are all global in scope so beans defined in them are shared across the system.

Personally, I believe locality of reference is paramount in a maintainable system, i.e. you should define beans close to where you use them.
