I was accused at Apachecon EU a year or two ago by Steve of relying on "architect tools" i.e. visio, powerpoint etc., instead of programmer tools, (like what? emacs!) For which he proposed a test framework here.
Well today I was discussing some of the finer points of separation of concerns with the guys and had cause to exhume (and re-label for php) a diagram I drew a couple of years ago for a former employer to illustrate the layering in our java systems to an interested, but unenlightened group of Oracle developers.

I could plead that I drew it first then recognised the shape, but I won't bother because life's too short.
Colleague Ed suggested it should be recorded for posterity so here is the original Java version...

Great representation of software architecture. This is definitely a model that will come in handy.
