My raised beds are 6-ft. diameter round beds (from stock tanks). I plant the tomato plants in either the center or close to the north side with just enough room for the lettuce, spinach and cilantro to grow in the shade to the north of the tomatoes.
I grow peppers, basil, parsley & marjoram and sometimes squeeze in bunching onions & carrots to the south, east and west sides of the tomato plants.
Other crops I grow in other beds and rotate what's planted in each group of beds.
