Default Biplane design questions

Also, it would seem only necessary to put washout in the upper wing,
keeping the lower wing flat. Is this the case with most biplanes, or do
they put washout in both the wings?

Interesting points, but I think you've got the washout thing backwards. If
the lower wing is designed first, don't you want wash-out in it to keep
the tip from stalling first and causing a wing to drop?
