I am in *complete* agreement with tachyon on this. If there's going to be more than 2 people working on this, the modularizing this is very helpful. If this expands to 5 or more, then it's going to be about the only way you can keep your sanity.

Think about your design. Draw out the major modules on paper. Think about the design again. Confer with the other people on the design. Then, delegate control and responsibility. Tell Joe that the Foo subsystem is his and let him oversee it, tell Bob that the Bar one is his, etc. Then you just watch over it all and insure that everything runs smoothly.

Most every large project works this way. The Linux kernel, Mozilla, Gaim, these are just a few that I can name off the top of my head.
