I actually do something similar. I often write queries with a class that 
exposes a `paginated` and `count` method, and a private '_core' to 
construct the base query for both.  

from my experience, two things to watch out for:

* be sure to support order_by, especially when dealing with tests
* if your project grows complex, you may need to use completely different 
queries for `total_count` and `data`.  with simple queries and small 
datasets you don't... but i've written a handful of things where the 
`count` only needs to address one table but the `data` is built off a 
multi-table join and various relationship loading techniques.
