Cutting both sides the strategy varies depending on the shape of the project being cut. Sometimes I use a right angle jig clamped or screwed to my top, with 0,0 set at the inside corner. Cut the top side with bridges so it won't break out of the starting rectangle, then flip the board over to cut the back. The piece clamped tight to the jig for both sides, and the drawings for both sides laid out using the same 0,0 reference.
Other times I add two alignment holes for pins. On the top cut the pin holes through plus 1/4" or so into your spoil board. Flip over, use pins through the holes to align then clamp. The pin holes are typically aligned along a centerline and both side drawings use the same line.
