Ok, I see. I very rearly use scm:checkout (I normally checkout from Eclipse or some other tool). But when I do, I pass along the -DcheckoutDirectory=whatever flag to get the checked out project where I want it. That checkout folder is going to be your new basedir. You should keep your direcotyr layout according to Maven's default layout (see http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html). I.e. don't fight Maven.
