My point is not that separation per se must always be maintained but that the character of the music determines the degree of optimum separation or co-location. For example the first violins are grouped together for a reason; so the individual string tones blend. The location of the second violins is more discretionary but certain compositions benefit from one location or the other (the two possible sites are in back of the first violins or across from them on the right side of the stage. Two different sonic effects. The melodic, harmonic, dynamic and instrumentation attributes created by the composer always imply a certain kind of spatial arrangement in live performance to reproduce them satisfactorily. Even on a recording an artificial arrangement should be based on those factors in addition to any directions from the composer, producer etc. It's called mixing.
