How can VS2010/msbuild support project references with a multi-solution model?

The outdated Microsoft Patterns and practices article on “Structuring solutions and projects” lists three main models for partitioning solutions and projects:

  • Single solution
  • Partitioned single solution
  • Multi-solution

The article mentions that a disadvantage of the multi-solution model is that it requires using file references instead of project references.

The article was written in Jan 2002, and there hasnt been a new version added since.

The MSBuild “assembly resolution series”
hasn’t gotten off the ground either.

What good articles are there on best practices for models for partitioning solutions and projects within VS2010, covering allowing project references and advances with msbuild?
