Keep them separate.

Clara doesn't know The Doctor. She doesn't know him in any version of him we've seen so far. She's died in two versions. Past, present, and future are all individuals. The idea that they are the same person is The Doctor's theory, which goes against the fact that she has never met him and has no idea about her so-called "other lives," which we do not know matter of factly are her other lives.

So my vote is to keep them separate.
