The rule that seems to work for me with FileMaker 8 is that you
should use the following hierarchy when using the visual capabilities
of FileMaker (i.e. actually changing what's shown on the screen):
Application > Document > Window > Layout
Window is really important as now you can have multiple windows open
with the same database/document/layout/table shown.
If you don't want to affect the visual layout then use the hierarchy:
Application > Database > Table
Note that some things just don't work with the second alternative, as
far as I can tell.
