I want to use GeoExt to have one base layer group (with multiple base
layers)  using the gx_baselayercontainer node type and two other
overlay groups  (each group with multiple layers) with async node
type. I want to use radio buttons so that only one layer per overlay
group shows up at any time.

I used the TreeNodes example to create my two overlay groups
(http://dev.geoext.org/trunk/geoext/examples/tree.html) and right now
they are working with checkboxes - but I want radio buttons instead.

I tried to follow this GeoExt post on setting up radio buttons for
subnode but found that Andreas said that the Treenodes example code
segment
OpenLayers.Format.JSON().write
was not meant for "real-life application":

>From this thread it seems that this piece of code keeps the baseAttrs
method from rendering. I did have to comment these out to get my two
overlay groups to work.

So I found another post that says we should be using filter functions
to accomplish my goal of multiple groups of overlay layers.
http://www.geoext.org/pipermail/users/2009-October/000325.html

I'm not sure where to go from here - what is the right way to create
multiple overlay groups and how can select the layers within those
groups with radio buttons instead of checkboxes?

My geoext implementation is here:

Thanks.
