Yes! We do employing a naming convention, usually

<project>-<server-type>-<stage>

and I named the final layered roles as "-combined" 

eg: thirdparty-web-server-roundcube-staging-combined.rb

name "thirdparty-web-server-roundcube-staging-combined"
description "thirdparty web webmail staging"
run_list "role[baseline]",
  "role[roaming-profiles]",
  "role[webapp]",
  "role[thirdparty-web-server-production]",
  "role[thirdparty-web-server-staging]",
  "role[thirdparty-web-server-roundcube-production]",
  "role[thirdparty-web-server-roundcube-staging]",
  "role[baseline-runlast-cleanup]"

This list could be cut down as well with some roles including each other
but I ran into an issue documented in 

http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-1508

forcing me to lay them all out in one file.
