a European national keyboard is by itself in general a keyboard group composed of three levels (one unshifted, one shifted, one obtained with AltGr).
And everyone who has used a Macintosh has been used to:
plain shifted alt alt-shifted
for twenty years. And that means US and European keyboard layouts.
[Alain] Two groups of two levels each. No complication in this.
However IBM PCs did something else, and their groups are limited to 3 levels.
