Ken,
(snip) Another solution I implemented recently is to have a "group factory" handler which is responsible to clone the group and to rename the new group by suffixing it with an index number.

I too have found this strategy useful. I have discovered that I can apply any number of bezier curves to a card by cloning the original bezier group (consisting of the bezier line and its control elements) which resides on the plug-in palette, and appending a character the end of the group name.
The distinct group name is vital with multiple bezier lines. As the control points are moved, the beizer line belonging to that control point must be reconstructed. Thus the graphic points are set by something like:
set the points of graphic "graphicBezier" of group "groupA" to thePointList
Ken's suggestion of using the "owner of me" is the perfect tool. In this way the control points speak to their own graphic line by addressing only that line which belongs to "the owner of me" It becomes a kind of genetic marker to differentiate self from all the other bezier groups.
