I'm interested in this discussion also. I had this exact problem and
put it on hold for a while with a workaround. I decided that I would
probably need a child view that is a superset of all the desired group
views and that I would set the visibility of the child view components
as I determined the group of the child view to be rendered.
I had also been thinking that for the database that represents the
various groups, I would use the Ruby on Rails pattern of combining all
the child objects into a single table, with a group_id, keyed off of
the id of the GroupName.
This would work because the data that I was going to be dealing with
were actually related, in an inheritance sense, so I could get away
with it.
Were my groups to represent biological trees, with wildly different
member components between groups, I'd have to rethink that approach.
