My particular workflow is to always hide background partitions for both geometry and lights and to explicitly set visibility of all partitions, and I do this as i feel it gives me a more secure control over what shows up in renders. I currently experiencing some scenes which use a much more relaxed approach to object visibility and whilst i wrestle with them i'm contemplating making some suggestions to my superiors, but thought it wise to garner some opinions here, just in case i'm completey wrong.... cheers, Andi.
