Well, Archetypes has a field property called "schemata" which is actually
used for grouping. Thus all fields with the same value in schemata will
be grouped together and rendered together. This looks right now like
a submenu inside the actual edit tab.

Thus you cannot do the first thing and group fields together with more
than one group per view. You can do the latter if I understand you right.

Maybe just test it with ArchExample and add some

    schemata='group1'

or so to the field definitions.

(though I still think that the name "schemata" is not that good for it ;-)
