I'm not sure that I'm understanding you.
But if one of the groups is a <sequence>
it will be forcing an undesired ordering
on its members. And obviously none of them
can be a <choice>, so the only viable alternative
is to make them <all> groups. If you mean
that I could copy&paste the contents of the
common groups inside the others without
putting them between <all></all>, yeah,
you are right and that was what I wanted
to avoid, duplication.
Regards,
Carlos
