Something else I've never understood about food combining (though I've never read the book which might explain it) is that some carb foods also contain significant amount of protein. For example, combining beans and grains will yield a complete protein, yet they are both carby foods.

Well, I don't want to get into a debate here, and food combining (a la Fit for Life) obviously works for some people. I suppose anything that focuses on whole foods and eliminates processed carbs and sugars has got to be an improvement over the 'typical' North American diet!
