SDNP: Is probably not a good idea but local configuration files may 
override global from project file if needed might be a good idea. 
Possibility to see somewhere if values are overridden is probably a very 
good idea.
 
 
MDPC: Might be a really good idea if restrictions are added to avoid 
confusion. Possible to descend hierarchy in schematic but opening new 
file or at least file not part of the hierarchy all files have to be 
closed first. Possible to descend hierarchy but open file have to close 
all currently open schematics so that new schematic is top level is 
probably the least confusing.
 
If opening schematic possibility to see which project file is 
automatically loaded ought to be a good idea.
 
 
MDP1: There is a problem to keep project file in sync if sub schematics 
in hierarchy is added by a source attribute in the symbol. To put top 
level schematic file name in project file would however work, possible 
to either open project file or top level schematic automatically loading 
project file.
 
 
MDPP: Adding a top level configuration file referencing configuration 
files for schematic, pcb and possible others might be a good idea.
