Yes. Groups on a card are placed in the message path of objects on that
card, just before the card. In other words, if you click the card,
mouseDown passes through the card, then any groups on the card, then the
stack, and so on.
If you want the message to affect only the objects in the group, you can
include in your handler a line such as
if the owner of the target is not me then passs mouseDown
to filter out objects that aren't part of the group.
