Tomahawk sandbox subForm (and probably others like Trinidad's subForm) will allow you to do validation grouping like you've specified below.
infact subforms can not handle all our requirements.. because we need to validate "crossform" fields too... suppose we are required to validate ( Form1.fieldA,Form1.fieldB,Form2.fieldC) when comboX submitted and ( Form1.fieldD,Form2.fieldE) when a buttonY submitted... this means, it's needed, for our project, to validate grouped fields independent from their forms... hasan..
