No, I do not see any (direct) harm.  Merely, I find that such things
can significantly decrease readability of the code and thus make
maintanence more difficult.  (Yet I do not know how intensely the
code you talk about is linked to BBDB.  With just a few function
calls from BBDB there should not be too much a problem.)

Also, features in BBDB 3 have been significantly expanded.  I do not
know either whether your code might benefit from that.
