In general, E+ doesn't allow placement of individual components (cooling coils, heating coils, fans, etc.) directly upstream from air terminal units. If you really wanted to have reheat of supply air from the air handler, you should place a central reheat coil as the final component of the air handling unit. As a result, if you use the AirTerminal:SingleDuct:ConstantVolume:CooledBeam object to model the chilled beam you should use your simple method.
If you wanted to model a terminal unit that can provide both heating and cooling, you can use the AirTerminal:SingleDuct:ConstantVolume:FourPipeInduction object. The Cooled Beam object only allows a chilled water connection, while the Four Pipe Induction object allows for a chilled water connection AND hot water connection.
