I use it for process steps. Since the high level process steps are a 
subset of the work instructions, I build the entire thing in one file, 
set conditional text for the Work instruction only part,  and then 
import by reference into the Work Instructions template, and into the 
SOP process file. The conditional text settings hides the detailed steps 
in the SOP, and displays them in the Work Instructions file.

It would be easier if it were DITA, but you can't have everything.
