Not really, because the two things are complimentary. "Video" does *not* imply "File", because it could be "MailAttachment". I forgot to mention in my last email that some results don't have a file type. A document with hit type "Contact" has no file type because that doesn't make sense (and setting to also be "Contact" would be pointless).
Ok, so taking a conrete case, a "document" file type with hit type "contact" could be a vcard stored somewhere on disk? It took my a sec to grok the distinction between hit type and file type. If I understand correctly hit type could also be called "present as", and yes present-as and file-type are independent the way you describe it. However this is not the way I would abstract things. I think a category tree like http://www.grillbar.org/xesam/object-graph.png would be more natural. In this way both MailAttachment and files in a tarball are both EmbeddedObjects in a natural way.
