Also, I`d like to propose an option to group tabs by their package separator group without using additional space. We could do 2 things:
1) sort tabs by separator group
2) use slightly different color for tab of i-th group (something like this:
group 0: SColorFace()
group 1: SColorFace()+"slighly red"(30,0,0)
group 2: SColorFace()+"slighly yellow"(15,15,0)
group 3: SColorFace()+"slighly green"(0,30,0)
group 3: SColorFace()+"slighly blue"(0,0,30)
...

P.S. If I understand correctly what you mean by "nested tabs" (something like AAA.cpp/.h/.lay within tab caption) and you don`t like that it uses more space than original tab, I want to say that it is not necessary to draw all the options inside tab caption. We may just leave caption as-is but do switch on clicking active tab. Or we may draw something informative when mouse pointer is over active tab caption to inform user that he may click it to switch. From usability point of view there`s no sense in drawing many .cpp/.h pairs within all open tabs. User needs this information only for opened tab, so we may draw .cpp/.h options only for active tab. We may draw it this way:
AAA.cpp - when it could be switched to some other file (there must also be shortcut for switching by keyboard)
or AAA.cpp - when there`s nothing to switch to.
