[tkined] Possible ip_layout bug

I am new to Tcl and Tkined, and I do not speak German well, so I may just
be confused. Please help clarify the following for me:

In ip_layout, the "erstelleObjektliste" procedure calls "erstelleTabelle"
for each GROUP in the view. ErstelleTable seems to build table in which the
index is a leaf element, and the value is the parent group. It seems to me
that in the case of nested groups, the ultimate value depend upon which of
the containing groups occurs last in the element list.

For example, if L is contained within G1, and G1 is contained within G2,
then:

1. if G1 preceeds G2 in the element list, then Table(L) = G2

2. if G2 preceeds G1 in the element list, then Table(L) = G1

It seems to me the order of G1 and G2 is arbitrary, so the result would be
arbitrary. What am I missing?

Thank you for any help.
