Floating objects or floats exist in many instances. One predefined instance is 
figure and a second is table. So \placelistofINSTANCEs will give you the list. 
You can define more floating objects, for example a sidebox, etc.

The figure and table lists can be combined:

\definecombinedlist [figuresandtables] [figure,table]

\placelistoffiguresandtables

or something like that.

\startcombination [nx=1,ny=2] % my preferred syntax

\stopcombination

allows you to create a combined (matrix) of graphics. It is indeed generally 
used inside a float construct such as \startplacefigure ... \stopplacefigure.


By the way, "alternative=label" is a favorite of mine, making it unnecessary to 
explicitly include labels, as in:

\startcombination [nx=1,ny=2,alternative=label]
  {My top graphic}
  {My bottom graphic}
\stopcombination

rather than

\startcombination [nx=1,ny=2]
  {My top graphic}    {a}
  {My bottom graphic} {b}
\stopcombination
