Slices on different contents with the same layout?

I’m trying to figure out a way to make slices at the least amount of space and using the same images folder.

My page layout: 4 tabs on the top to go to different sections; menu at the left. Menu items change depending on which tab you are in. The graphic in the middle of the screen which is the same for all the tabs.

I’m doing rollovers and remote rollovers for the menu items. The location to highlight on the graphics are different for each section (tab). The total number of menu items are different in each section (tab). If I just link to different folders for each section, therre should not be any problems. That would waste a lot of space since a lot of them are common. I would like to be able to save all the images in the same "images" folder, and each section in the same folder. ie.
1.htm
2.htm
3.htm
4.htm
/images/ all the images here.

The problem I have is: Since the locations of the slices (layer slice) for graphic highlights are different, total number of highlights is different, and total number of menu items are different. If they’re in the same folder, they would mess up each other (eg. self-generated images can be the same but different images or save over the images of another section). I can add a prefix to each section, but that would be a lot of editing and it does not save any space.

What is the best way to deal with this?

I’m looking at slice sets, and wonder if it can do magic in my case?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Assign each image a different, logical name.
