do you think (or know from experience) if it makes sense to combine hard (relative) couple-of-moves bouldering with longer power-endurance traverses/problems (still bouldering though);

after a warm-up i like to work on my current max-problems and then switch to easier but longer (several moves) pieces; this ordering seems natural, of course i never do it the other way round, but is there a chance of some real (possibly long-term) improvement on the hard problems (=max strength)?

youd probably do better if you focused first on power and then on power endurance (when training). you can go with something as simple as 2 weeks of power and then 2 weeks of power endurance.

You´re training the right way.
Do your power problems after a warm up, while you´re still fresh. When you start feeling that you can´t pull at your maximum power move on to power-endurance or endurance.
If you did it the other way around your power wouldn´t improve, because you would never pull at your maximum power.
One thing you could change is, as overlord said, to start training in blocks. Do 4 weeks of endurance, 3 weeks of power and then 2 weeks of power-endurance. That way you would get the fastest improvements.
