I don't see anything necessarily wrong with your approach. On the other hand, I don't see that it's an especially helpful way to approach your task. The best way to find out whether it's "correct" or not is to try to implement it. To find out whether one way is better than another, implement both.
Yes. Personally, I come from more a C++ background, and I can say that in C++ the compile times become so painful that you really want to take the time to try and design everything perfect from the start.
Smalltalk is on the exact other side of the universe. So if you come from a similar background it may take some time to get used to a new way of thinking, but this is what Smalltalk brings to the table. If you want to make the most out of a new programming language the best thing to do IMO is to find out it's strengths and try to play to those.
