Become the state machine, have it be an extension of your self, and you an extension of it. Once you are truly at one with the state machine, you have begun travelling down the long path towards even better architectural design patterns...
PS: to avoid confusion here, what most people are referring to is a "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_state_machine' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">finite state machine". Understand the theory first, then take a look at the templates that come with LabVIEW (they're in the "Getting Started" screen).
