I think my preferred location for skin-related .php files is
in the same directory as the other skin files.  Just be sure to put a
"don't execute" pre-amble at the beginning of the script:

   <?php if (!defined('PmWiki')) exit();
   ## rest of script goes here...
   
Then someone wanting to load the skin can just do

   include_once('pub/skins/coolblue/coolblue.php');

Yes, this was also one of the reasons I created a separate cookbook/
directory.
