Visualforce Email tempalate

In visualforce email template is is it necessary that for customer controller it must contains component.
suppose in this
Dear {!lead.Name}
Thank you for choosing {!relatedTo.Account.Name} to assist you with your property taxes.  As we discussed over the 

phone, {!relatedto.Contact.Mobile__c} will be contacting you if we need additional information regarding your 

application. Their contact information, if you have any concerns or questions, is as follows:

{!relatedTo.Account.email}



now in all these dynamic fields like  eg used above {!relatedTo.Account.email}

is it necessary  that they all must be related to the "relatedToType" in the template...what if the dynamic field fields do not belong to the relatedToType object.

also, 1 thing more since we have either person or businees account  is this condition right to use
if it is business account then i want it shoul pick phone_1__c elase if business account then pick 'phone' field.

relatedToType is Account, however, case fields are also used as case object have a relationship with Account
