Well, since Gmail contacts are like labels/tags elsewhere in Google, there isn't anything preventing you from making a combined groups like FriendsAndFamily. Of course that's ridiculous. But your point is really just a broader problem of many parts of this first Android incantation. The fact that you cannot display or manage groups at all from the phone side is ridiculous, and the user interface is painful to use (5 clicks to switch from one group to the next with no indication of the contact group being displayed.) And as of right now, the "built in" Family,Friends, and Co-workers are not displayed on the Phone -- I;m assuming this will be fixed sometime.
