The support points only coincide for FE_Q(1) elements with the nodes of the triangulation. Normally, you would associate the entries of a Vector with the finite element vector defined by the degrees of freedom (and the ansatz space), but you can also store different information. You are talking about two equations. What is the second equation and how is it related to the first one? Can you give an example how you want to use the Vectors?
