A question for experienced modders

I'm a real simpleton when it comes to mods.....I can download them, extract them, install them and uninstall them using JSGME, but that's about the limit of my mod knowledge.

So, to those of you with consideranle knowledge in this area, please forgive the question. What I want to know is if I'm running a large mod like TM, and I go to add a small mod and I get the message that the file or files I'm seeking to mod have already been modded by TM, if I go ahead and install the small mod, is that OK because all I've changed is TM? Or, by altering TM, when I disable the TM mod and the small mod, is there now a file corruption issue relative to the stock game?

I ask because I got that message when installing ROW mods on top of TM 1.6.5, but Dave said that was fine. Indeed it was fine, but I'm curious if that would always be the case, or whether as a general rule if you get that 'files have already been modded' message you should not proceed.
