1.  Sorry, should have mentioned groups of groups was only supported in v3.

2.  Yep, you are experiencing the magic of "flattening".  Just don't make any 
cycles.  <smile/>

I got stuck first because wix 2.0 does not allow this. After upgrading
to the latest build
of wix 3.0, it works perfectly.

I was especially pleased to see that pulling in dependencies through
ComponentGroupRef
still works even if the dependency graph is a diamond like this:

- Feature only references ComponentGroup A
- ComponentGroup A references ComponentGroup B and ComponentGroup C
- ComponentGroups B references ComponentGroup D
- ComponentGroups C references ComponentGroup D

This is exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks!
