This has motivated me to RTFM:

#<<<         21.2.1 "SMP/E V3R4.0 Commands"

                  21.0 Chapter 21. The RESTORE command
21.2 Syntax
  21.2.1 Operands

          However, assume you have installed two PTFs that affect
          the same element but that do not define any relationship
          to each other. If you select one of the PTFs and specify
          the GROUP operand, SMP/E does not try to restore the
          other PTF. You have to specify both PTFs on the SELECT
          operand.

This shouldn't happen, should it?

This section makes several mentions of PREs, but not of REQs.
Does GROUP do anything with REQs?  In particular:

          3. If you use GROUP along with SELECT, make sure to
          specify the lowest level of service you want restored.
          For example, if you want to restore PTF1 and PTF2, and
          PTF1 is a prerequisite for PTF2, specify PTF1 on the
          SELECT operand.

Since REQ does not establish a level of service, how should I
interpret this in context of a REQ?
