1. Patterns—using patterns will address items 1-3 in your list. Have
the patterns first in your wireframe deck w/all their behavior notes
and states.
2. Layers in InDesign (or other)—using layers for behavior notes will
tackle #4. You can have notes on different layers for each audience.

I'm looking for the current best practices of managing complexity of
wireframes.
What do you do in the following situations?
1. A page includes multiple panels, each of them is quite complex,
with many
details and notes. How to show all child panels and their notes
without
cluttering the parent page's wireframe?
2. A page includes an interactive panel, i.e. one that has multiple
states.
The size of the interactive panel can be small (i.e. a creeping
line) or
large (i.e. a tab page). How to show all panel states best?
3. A page includes a panel that is reused on different pages (i.e.
as common
info block), or multiple times on the same page (e.g. item in a
list). How
to show the reused panels best, avoiding copying/out-of-sync problems?
4. Different notes and different level of detail should be shown to
different audiences. How to create different versions of the same
wireframe
best? Also what to do if there is not enough room in the sidebar for
all
footnotes?
Cheers!

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
