Hi Bobby,

For #1, I'm not sure.  Sam Skillman may now more.

For #2, I believe that is correct, but I am unable to verify it right
now.  And the reason I'm *not* 100% sure is because the order you pass
them in will be by FOF node, but then within a FOF node you won't
necessarily have sequential particles belonging to the same subgroups.
