I take it you're talking of the idea that each division should be based on a
successively higher principal pitch basis.
Here's another neo-classic dogma that had only limited basis in historic
instruments. There are plenty of instruments that didn't adhere to this if the
space was available. The classic: the big Schnitger at St. Jakobi, Hamburg --
16' Great Principal basis, two other divisions with 8' Principal basis, and the
Brustwerk based on a "Holzprincipal" 8'. (This latter might sound more fluty,
I don't know, didn't hear it individually when I was on site, and of course,
the instrument has been restored so I don't know certain details of whether it
was fully original or not.)
Not many Brustwerke had room for an 8' open stop, of course.
