I've heard of some guys and gals putting a FMJ round in between each JHP round in their clips.
Do any of you subscribe to this method?

NO, why? If you are useing quality jhp then no need. If you are useing an underpowered round then just use fmj. I know some flip slugs and buckshot in thier shotguns but a hand gun is not a shotgun.
I would be afraid of a jam.

I don't have a 45 acp revolver so I don't use any clips whatsoever.
Why? Anyone needing shot with a hollow point once is worth shooting with a hollow point twice!
I don't. I've never heard of the practice discussed positively by trained shooters or instructors.
IMHO if you really need 2 or more types of ammo (most applicable to military rifle use rather than a carry pistol), then keep separate mags and choose the proper ammo for the job.
Ball ammo shouldn't be used for carry. Anyone who is only increases the chance of hitting a "non target".
Never. About the only ammo mixing I do is 3 rounds of tracer at the bottom of my AR mags. I always keep my slugs and buckshot in separate mags and the same goes for a mag full of AP for my AR. I don't even bother with a mag full of FMJ for my pistols.
The ONLY reason I could see for doing that is concern about not enough penetration by the JHP rounds. If you are concerned about that, load all FMJs.
There it is again! I'm glad you beat me to it so I don't have to look so anal!
Don't kill the messenger, kids.
I wasn't stating that I condone this practice, I don't. I load hollow points in my CCW. I was just curious if the alternating rounds theory held any water.
