I've played good con scenarios that lacked this element, but they were definitely the minority. The best ones always included links between the PCs -- either direct (X knows Y) or in areas that would come up in play (X is a criminal, Y is a cop). Good point.

I'd add that solid character background and/or hooks can go a long way to jump starting characterization of pre-gen characters. It's more important for LARP and political games, but having a few quirks and relationships thought out gives the GM a chance to preload the scenario for the incite, incite, incite you mention above.
