Yes, I ran into at least one of your issues back in May. Check out the "New
groups bugaboo" thread in the archives.

Eventually I was led to a very cool feature (by Scott Rossi), the
"templateGroup". Check this out. It is very stable. This is something solid; using the somewhat ephemeral "last" keyword as a hard tool always seemed like a very
cute, but a little dishonest, methodology.

Apparently this is only a problem with groups. The "last" keyword works
fine with, say, buttons.

Thanks for the confirmation of one of the group issues I listed in my post. I must have missed the thread in May being out of office and country at that time.

Using Scott's "templategroup" proposal may be handy when only one group building is involved.

In the case of my "Gradient Kaleidoscope" scripts I have to make frequent use of grouping and ungrouping (the last group) of images, and I find it easier and more convenient to use the workaround with finding the "owner" of one of the controls that have been grouped, as in - I quote myself here -

 "select fld "one" and fld "two"
 group
 put the owner of fld "one" into tlastgroup"
