Thanks for the answer!
The steps you describe is what i would do if i had no LayerContainers
that group several layer. And these LayerContainers are created
dynamically out of an xml-file. It looks like this:

<nameofGroup>
  <layer1> <PointData / ><layer1 />
  <layer2> <PointData / ><layer2 />
  <layer3> <PointData / ><layer3 />
</nameOfGroup>

The layers are first added to the OpenLayers.Map object. Then i
iterate throug all groupNames and create  LayerContainer that contains
all the three layers.  Then after the site is loaded and i want to add
another group pushing a button which creates a single LayerContainer
and appends it to the TreePanel.

I just found out how to add another layer to the container, but now
have a problem:

var someLayer=new OpenLayers....

var myNewLayer= new GeoExt.tree.LayerNode({
    layer: someLayer,
    leaf: true,
    expanded: true,
    loader: {
         baseAttrs: {
                        radioGroup: "foo",
                        uiProvider: "use_radio"
                       }
    }
});

layerTree.getRootNode().findChild( "text","layerContainerName1"
).appendChild(myNewLayer);



The new appended myNewLayer is visible in the TreePanel and inside the
group-folder but it does not have a radiobutton like all the other
layers in the folder..
Anyone know how?


And maybe you have an idea how to do all the above described stuff in
a better way? In short i want:
-add new grouped layer containers to the tree panel (by clicking a button)
-add new layer to a certain layer-group in the tree panel (by clicking
a second button)


I would appecriate your help !
thank you
