The declarations appearing directly in a defined type's body are issued once for each declared instance of that defined type. No resource may be declared more than once. Thus every resource declared by a defined type instance must be specific to that instance. Resources shared between instances, such as a common Group, must be factored out. One possible approach here would be to issue virtual declarations of all possible groups in some central class, and then have your accounts::virtual definition realize the appropriate group instead of declaring it.
