Regardless of anyone's philosophy in deciding who gets to play Eb, it makes no sense to me to seat the Eb player any farther than necessary from the flutes and, in particular, the piccolo flute. Almost always, the Eb is playing a melodic voice above the 1st clarinets, a double of the 1st clarinet, or a unison with the 1st flute or piccolo flute. The Eb just doesn't play with the 3rd clarinets. Players should, whenever possible, sit near the instruments they most often play with.
