The current philosphy goes into the following direction:

    the functionality into the product (your ZClass)
    the presentation into the skins

I am not sure that this philisophy is right (because the skins form a
global resource, while we need local, product specific ones). But I am
sure, that presentation is much more volatile than functionality.

  If you are interested in reuse, then it is probably a good idea
  to separate presentation from functionality, such that
  you can use the *same* functional component with several
  different presentations....

  If you are not interested in this type of reuse, I feel,
  it would not matter (sure, others have a different feeling).
