Complicated section selection
I've been trying to modify any sample I can find, RadioButtons, Mutually Exclusive Sections, Section Dependency, to make some extremely complex section interactions work, but can't get anything to function the way I'd like.

The biggest problems I keep running into are
1) needing three or more mutually exclusive sections (RadioButtons does this, but any other way I can't figure out how to have more than two)
2) with the option to uncheck ALL choices in a group (RadioButtons *doesn't* do this), and
3) multiple dependencies/interactions for a single section: as outlined below, I can get interaction A to work, but then interaction C is ignored for section 1.1 .

Is this complexity even possible?

Here's more detail on my specific scenario:

Group1
-1.1
-1.2

Group2
-2.1
-2.2
-2.3

Group3
-Group4
--3.1
--Group5
---3.1.a
-3.2


Interactions:

A) 1.1 and 1.2 are mutually exclusive, but need to be able to have all unchecked.

B) 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 are mutually exclusive, but need to be able to have all unchecked.

C) 1.1 and 2.1 are required for/dependent on each other. If you check one, the other should check. If you uncheck one, the other should uncheck.

D) 3.1 (but not Group5/3.1.a) should become disabled if anything in Group1, or item 3.2 are checked. Re-enabled when these conditions are no longer met.

E) When 2.3 is checked, or when all of Group2 is unchecked, 3.2 should be checked by default, but able to be unchecked.

Here's one piece of code I'm having trouble with:

Function .onSelChange

After much work, I've abandoned the strategies here, and come *close* (not perfect) using If/Select/etc. from LogicLib, combined with a lot of manual flag setting/unsetting...
