Isa,

The binding directory is only used for compiles.  Once you've compiled the
program all the modules used by that program are inside the program.  You
don't need the binding directory when the programs are running in
production.  In your example the program would get only the one module it
was using and not the whole list of modules in the binding directory.

You use one logical in a program.  If you have the module with the physical
and all logicals you're binding in that whole module to the program just to
get that one logical file.

You use two different logicals over the same physical file in the same
program.  Would your module be able to handle reading of both logicals
(which may or may not overlap) at the same time?  Putting those logicals in
seperate modules avoids these kinds of problems.
