No, I think it does make sense. Something like
get field "foo" of stack "bar"
means "get the contents of field 'foo' on the current card of stack
'bar'" - the "current card" part is understood when making references
to a stack. I think it works the same here - "get the ID of control 2
of this stack" would mean "control 2 of the current card", etc.
The real problem here is that you can't get a list of all the groups
in a stack any more since backgroundBehavior was introduced. But
that's a rant for another day....
