If your flagstone path will have smooth edges then an edging material like steel or some kind of stone will help keep the seperation clean. If it will have natural contoured edges than you can't do that as easily. It will work but it will be harder to keep your gravel (not sure what you mean by fines...I assume you mean a small crushed stone) from bleeding into your flagstone. Do your excavation then the base then flagstone then the crushed stone. You may have dump the crsuhed stone in piles first so you don't have to drive a machine over the flagstone after it's done.

Also be very careful with your choice of bambo. A lot of that stuff is horribly, disasterously invasive.

Good luck. Looks like a nice plan.
