RE: Top Down assembly
There are two ways to model an assembly:
1) Bottom-Up: You design all the parts in their own window and after just assembly them in an assembly file.
2) Top-Down: You design the parts in the context of the assembly. You can use the geometry of other parts to design the new parts.
I hope it can helps.

RE: Top Down assembly
In top down assy, u fix some points first like (as in a bike) the wheel centres, swing arm axis, etc. now u create a skeleton model of curves with these points. with this as the first model in the top down assy, u can create other components in the assembly (atleast partialy). here u can create layout design which will help in studying the jounce and rebound conditions.
As mhendler said, bottom up assy is building up the assy with models ready already.

RE: Top Down assembly
This is inserted at the "top" of the assembly.
You then keep multi-part references in the skeleton.
Typically say a datum curve deffining the diameter of two interlocking parts.
Both parts reference the skeleton and not each other.
This makes it easier when the assembly is revisted.
