 Thanks both of you,

I also find the redistribution most interesting. Ok for loops I understand that if nothing is said I put some filters somewhere in order to eliminate them.
What about suboptimal routing. For example a RIP domain next to OSPF domain and two common routers connect them. I know what to do in order to eliminate the suboptimal routing - using distance but do I need to do this really if it is not said. As long as all addresses are reachable is it a mistake to leave it to default routing decisions.

Something else. Can we define where we have to be more careful. For example

Eigrp external routes redistributed back into the eigrp domain
OSPF external routes redistr back into OSPF domain
RIP routes back into rip domain.

Best,
Nick
