If they are incarnations then once we know that we'd better be able to put her in one page. We'd know why main character traits show up again and again, and be able to describe things properly. But right now we know nothing. We note when she says "Oswald for the win, Oswin!" because we knew her with that name. It startles us as viewers and it startles the Doctor. Right now we're in a bit of the same boat as the Doctor. He doesn't know what it means, though he takes note of it. And since we don't know what it means we don't know how to handle it. If she is a reincarnation then we'd right a section on the strongest parts of her personality. That we see throughout space and time. And we'd note things like "Oswald for the win" as creepy coincidences. But if Oswin has some deeper meaning we'd write things completely differently. Or if the current Clara ends up losing her memory and staying in the future and is in fact the girl in the Dalek. There are thousands of possibilities. And until we know better shoving her into one page seems like a mistake. A mistake that (at least to me) seems likely to hinder writing and a full exploration of each Clara.
