Actually, you mentioned treading over old ground with the companion earlier, I think this set up is actually very interesting, and new for the show. The fact that she's known him her whole life, and he's kept letting her down by dissapearing off; and that's clearly affected who she is, the fact she had to see several shrinks and so on. Also another indication of how well Moffatt, as a writer, incorporates time travel so well into his Who world; a facet of the show that is more often than not ignored. Which is weird when you consider it's about a man who travels in time.
Looked at from that perspective then... yes, I concede this is a clever and interesting way to set the scene for their future relationship. (But don't interpret me admitting I am wrong about this as setting some of precedent, Matthew. I shall continue to be correct about everything else. )
