Hi - I was wondering, when can you, and when can you not, run traces between the pads of other components? For example - is there anything wrong with running relatively fast (~5Mhz) digital lines between the pads of a 0603 .1uf decoupling capacitor? What about running traces between the pads of chips? (though this hardly ever is possible with surface mount chips - but with SOICs I think it sometimes is). I've always avoided doing this - but now I'm starting to realize that it might not be something I really need to be worrying about.
Thanks!
