I see it differently.
SomeClass.MTch.cs is not in WP7 project it is added as delta in MTch project
SomeClass.M4A.cs is not in WP7 or MTch project it is added as delta in 
M4A project

SomeClass.cs is pressent as normal file in WP7 project and as link in other.

.. so everthing is given to compiler in every project! No ifdefs (they 
are almost like gotos for me)

Or Build Action: something that does not compile
We don't have that either...

When file or link is there - it compiles!

or am I extending one class across multiple files w/o hack - just plain 
organization/management??

I can remember STL requirements (rules and recommendations) with ctor, 
cctor (copy),
assigment op, less, equals and other derived relational ops for class.
Today I write something similar too in SomeClass.Operators.cs and see no 
evil!

Not speaking that in not-linked-file in WPF/WF project I can write 
SomeClass.Serializable

[Serializable]
public partial SomeClass {} // that's all I have desktop serialization 
only on desktop project!!

cos Attributes and some keywords (abstract) are additive accross partial 
classes.

the only problem I see with my approach:
I have to determine "platform smallest common subset/denominator of 
features" and that is
WP right now. If microsoft decides to add almost everything what is on 
desktop and maybe
something from asp.net (this will not happen) and I find it usefull and 
put asp.netserver in
my mobile app (this will not happen too - for a long time) then WP 
(silverlight) is not smallest
subset, so I have to reorganize my projects...
Until then MT and M4A are feature-supersets of WP-SL for me...
