I'm not sure what this has to do with arrays, an mentioned in the subject, 
since you never refer to arrays in the body of the message.  (Except for a 
strange reference to "the array b0".)

The A group and the B group are not related.  If, for example, you have 
something in @WEFA1 processing, when you refer to anything A0 through A9, 
you refer to the same instance.  However, if you refer to anything in B0 and 
B1, you will only get the first instance.
