That's what I've been doing, too.  The symmetrical I/O goes on a slotted 
element, and all the "infrastructure" goes on another symbol.  I have 
taken to the two-symbol approach even for non-slotted devices because I 
despise clutter on the schematic.  Power and ground are usually clutter 
-- I like to place them on a different sheet.

My approach for something with slots, common control, and power would be 
to make 3 symbols.  One for signal flow (slotted), one for control, one 
for power/ground.
