Other than that i'll be writing huge ammounts of code that have nothing to do with vbulletin and need their own large directory structure, it would be cumbersome to have them among a bunch of vbulletin files.

vBulletin already has a lot of backend code which you can manipulate in your portal, such as the datamanagers, database and input classes.

You can always use the back-end code and just include global.php. (Not that much need to put the files in the vBulletin folders) and then include admincp/global.php for the ACP files
