Chipp's thread went into that in detail, but in short all the icons are 
in a group and turning on the relayerGroupedControls (necessary to 
relayer stuff without a group without using editBackground) and then 
setting the layer causes the icon group to become a member of the 
highest other icon group, so this:

grp "Main"
    grp "Icon1"
       btn
       fld
    grp Icon2"
       btn
       fld

...becomes:

grp "Main"
    grp "Icon2"
      btn
      fld
      grp "Icon1"
         btn
         fld

What I'm after is:

grp "Main"
    grp "Icon2"
      btn
      fld
    grp "Icon1"
      btn
      fld
