Tks. Actually while experimenting i discovered it is a bad idea. If i stop
the first resource, the rest will stop too. Not good.
So basically the group is usefull only for other constraints.

I suppose i can keep the group (usefull for other constraints), but
unordered, and then have separate order constraints between the VM's. Or
having those resources inside an unordered group could have the effect of
not honouring the separate order constraints for them?

thx.
