But don't multiply the toplevel controls or you'll have a hell making options later.

Well, my intended idea is sort of like this:

Addon,
PlayerFrame,
TargetFrame,
PartyFrame = [ UnitFrame, UnitFrame, UnitFrame, UnitFrame ]
RaidFrame = [ UnitFrame, ... ]

So I will indeed have many toplevel controls as I use the virtual dynamic creation. But I will have one manager for all of them that controls positioning, updating, etc. Perhaps there is a better way of doing this, but the functionality is horribly undocumented.

I develop a lot in Java, and to give an analogy (if it makes any sense to you) what I am trying to do is create View for each group member, and then create a Controller for managing all these views. It's called the "DRY" principle: "Don't repeat yourself". It's the same thing for each group member, so I should have only one piece of logic and markup for it.
