Usually, my scenes end up having the following structure:

// so that i can remove certain elements for fast renders, i usually put
these in here...
#declare usethisthing = yes;
#declare usethatthing = no;
#declare usetheotherthing = yes;

#declare skymediacolor = <.3,.3,1>;
#declare skymediatype = 2;
// ...and more variables that make quick modification of the scene easy

camera {
location <blah,blah,blah>
// insert 10 other commented out locations here
look_at 0
}

// light sources here

#if (usethisthing)
...
#end

#if (usethatthing)
...
#end

#if (usetheotherthing)
...
#end
