I can stack a few filters together with the cokin system, but not separately, so if I rotated the polariser, the ND filter would be in the wrong place.... or stack two holders together (Lee filters can do this, not sure about Cokin).

Going back to the original query and answers at the start of this thread, about the removable section of the lens hood, I wonder how many other users like me have lost that piece?
It's an innovative idea, so you can rotate your polariser, but not so clever if the section can be accidentally knocked off or whatever while you're out and about.
I guess I'll get by without it, for I see little point in buying another lens hood when I shall probably lose the removable section again.

AJ,
That's reasonable. Cokin and Kood do a round circular polariser for the Cokin P holder. It fits between the lens and the first filter (you'll notice the P-holder has the first notch slightly wider).
With the 12-24mm you can just about get away with using the P-holder with a tiny amount of vignetting on the corners. It becomes more obvious if the holder isn't at 90 degrees to the camera. (It's also the aperture of the filter holder that gets in the way - a friend of mine filed his out to make it slightly larger)
Even with the Lee and Cokin X-Pro you can get some vignetting at 12mm if the holder isn't at 90 degrees!
But yes, for landscapes, a polariser and one ND grad should be ok. If you add more than one Cokin/Kood/Hitech filter you'll get magenta tinges appearing
