Yep :-)

Well, the last group in your list (another group) will be ehmm "the 
last group of grp xyz"! :-)

So you could just:

...
lock screen
put the num of grps of grp "yadda" into the_number
clone grp the_number of grp "yadda"
set the topleft of grp the_number + 1 of group "yadda" to the \
    bottomleft of grp the_number of group "yadda"
unlock screen
...

##where "yadda" is the name of your scrolling list group

Hope that helps.
