I do something similar by simply using includes, maybe
this would make a good cookbook entry. Simply name your
page sections something like Group.Page-Section and in your
Group.Page include them like this:
Edit [[(Group.Page-)Section1(?action=edit)]]
(:include Group.Page-Section1)
Edit [[(Group.Page-)Section2(?action=edit)]]
(:include Group.Page-Section2)
Hope this helps,
