If there are independent, then I would expect each one to have a session 
of  which units are open in the editor(s).
I would also expect to be able to open then outside the group, which 
would require  the session info.

If they have that info, what happens to it, when you open a project, as 
you described, without changing the files open in the editor?


And: Can ONE project be in more than one group?
