2) You avoid the routing trampler problem by grouping your elephants in with your hyps: The elephants don't hurt the overall morale too much by doing that? Also - if your elephants are lumped in with your main melee units, don't you end up with lots of situations where your elephants end up standing around in the middle of a mass of your own units, while your very front row of units does most of the work?

The entire point of this exercise is to bolster the morale of the elephants. The effect this has on the hypaspists is completely irrelevant, since you only care about the elephants: They're the ones doing damage.
