I do the same sort of thing, but for project1 I would probably keep
the trunk,tags,branches folders between 'project1' and the
subprojects. If they are that closely related I want the convenience
of checking out all the sub-projects in one step from project1/trunk,
and I want to tag them together, etc. But we are fairly flexible
with the structure here and so occasionally the 'trunk' folder is at
a different level depending on the specific project.

I've also use svn:externals to make it easy to check things out in a
case where the 'trunk' folders are at the subproject level.
