Doubling up pads - is this a problem?

I'm designing a PCB that I will be sharing with others. Right now it's a small group but I expect it to grow.

Some of the folks I'm working with really like through hole soldering, so I'm trying to keep the design totally through hole.

Howver, one or two of the resistors are odd values that are very hard to find in through hole, and expensive when you do find them. Hence, for my own use, I'd like to just use a SMT resistor, since they're easy to find and cheap in these values. But, I want to keep the board through-hole friendly for those who want it that way.

My thought is this: make a part in Eagle for those resistors that is essentially a 1206 resistor nestled between a pair of through-hole pads. Then, people can choose whichever one they want.

Anyone see a major problem with this? Clearly, I'd need to explain the weird part in the project's documentation, but it seems like it would add flexibility for a larger audience.

No problem. You have to make your own component, but it will work fine. About the only downside is that you are blocking more space for wire runs, but if you can route with both the SMD and through hole pads, go right ahead

Isn't this a possibility?:

through  smd  smd  through
     _    _    _    _
  --/ \--|#|  |#|--/ \--
  --\_/--|#|  |#|--\_/--

AlphaBeta, that's basically what I had in mind. I guess it's a tossup: Do I make a new package in Eagle with both sets of pads, or just add another resistor? The end result should be the same, so I just added another resistor.

I had to go back and alter the silkscreen outline for the through-hole resistor so it didn't obscure the SMT pads but it looks like it'll work fine.
