The other environments I have used had a control that was essentially a
box with a border around it. At the left end of the top border you could
embed a label in the border itself. You could then drop other controls
inside the box. It just called attention to certain controls.
I didn't see anything like that in Livecode and was experimenting to see
if I could create the effect.
Good. That's what I thought you were trying to accomplish.
With LiveCode that's done with a group. Try this:
create a new stack
drop a label field onto the stack
drop a couple of radio buttons onto the stack
now shift-click or drag the cursor to select them
from the Object menu select "Group Selected"
(or just press control-G)
you'll probably want to fiddle with the visual aspects of the group:
double-click or right-click on one of the controls
to bring up the property inspector
check 'showBorder'
enter a label for the group
check the unfortunately-named 'showName'
