Thanks Bruce,
So by your explanation, I could add depends="jdo.TestMaster" to the mapping for TestGroup and I should be able to just call create() for the TestMaster object which contains the TestGroup.
<class name="jdo.TestGroup" depends="jdo.TestMaster" access="shared" identity="id">
JDO would then recognize the dependent relationship and create the entry in the test_group table. ( all above references of course are to the test suite ). There wouldn't be a need to independently call _db.create(group).
I've tried to do this, and the group is never inserted. Am I missing something?
I've also noticed that removing the depends attribute from the TestDetail mapping has no effect on the outcome of the test.
Thanks again for your help,
Mark

Mark,
The answer is in the mapping descriptor for each class:
<class name="jdo.TestDetail" depends="jdo.TestMaster" access="shared" identity="id">
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
but see also:
<class name="jdo.TestGroup" access="shared" identity="id">
Notice that TestDetail is defined as being dependent upon TestMaster
whereas TestGroup is not. Digging further, you'll notice that
TestDetail2 and TestDetail3 are defined as being dependent upon
TestDetail.
