Very good tips, Some Theme not put wp_footer so some plugin can’t work because usually they put javascript at the bottom before closing body. And one more thinks some theme add jquery directly at the header it will be conflict if some plugin using different script than jquery.

To be quite frank the whole wordpress theme design work flow STINKS... the method of page includes is old and tired.... get_header() get_footer() get_sidebar can be better done if approached diffrently.

IMO it is time wordpress changed its theme work flow...

I agree Brad - when I put together a theme, page.php is almost always a near duplication of single.php. In the vast majority of themes, the two are nearly interchangeable.

page.php has in my opinion become an anachronism in themes. A well designed theme doesn't need it. Relying on a quality single.php and additional page templates for distinct custom static pages is a much better way to go.

I'd like to see an exhaustive list of all possible files in a theme (without considering custom js, etc.). I've seldom seen themes with author.php, or image.php, or attachment.php. or how about sub-page.php, or child-category.php
