It couldn't have been or it wouldn't have worked. It's the normal way to 
use the message hierarchy.

Newer versions of the engine have been messing around with group message 
hierarchies. I've lost track because it's been changed several times. 
For a while, any group that was shared by two or more cards was 
automatically treated as a background. Recently that's changed so that 
groups can share cards without being a background. It gets complicated.

Just make sure your group has backgroundbehavior set and it should work 
the old way. You shouldn't need to "send" unless the group is a card 
group (sounds like it might be.)
