I usually live inside hollowed out trees overnight. If I do end up settling somewhere it's usually a cliff side base with a roof to keep creepers out. When I start a serious mining operation I'll enclose my entrance in a 3x3 wooden shack just to have somewhere to run.
I personally don't build roads very often but the ones I've built are ground level highways about 3x3 straight through the terrain with glass sealing up the caves I go through. I've built one that was totally enclosed with glass but it was very labor intensive.
I know it's a quick few steps to the other torches but it's hard enough to hit one torch when your running away from mobs, much less 4. But I'll trust your judgment in the design.
Multiple entrances to the outpost would decreases it's defendability wouldn't it? Although I like the idea of half steps for a building material. I'd never considered that before. I'm sure the design will be adapted to wherever we end up placing them. Personally I planned on being out in the trees and laying down wooden shacks in my wake for followers on. Perhaps we could collaborate a way to integrate the shack into the outpost. Sort of... Use the shack as a base and improve it into an outpost when we expand out that far.
I was gunna give up my name but I just did some googling and with my name and my forum name you can come up with more information than I want people to know. Not that don't trust you guys but...
Simple little material emporium. I'd sell glass and solid stone. Complete with escape hole with a series of interconnected escape tunnels in case of robbery or war.

My problem is I'd run straight into the guys with weapons if it meant protecting someone.
