you don't have to split your theme into header, footer, and body, that's just how it's typically done as most people reuse the header and footer on every page. you can have it all in one file if you'd like, or 20 files, it's up to you.
read thru the theming docs on the wordpress site to get a better understanding of how it works. a theme can consist of just one file, or you can have separate files for every type of page, or you can check the requested page yourself and load templates under all sorts of different conditions, as well as have templates selectable on a per-page basis from the admin panel.
i'll say it again, if you're thinking limitations, you just haven't completely grasped what is possible yet. read up on conditional tags, creating your own loops and multiple loops, setting up hooks and filters and the whole plugin API.
