Hi Brian,
I think you're slightly misunderstanding the method I'm using and I blame myself for that as I didn't describe it very well. External audio is included in the groups. The tutorial you linked to is exactly what we found to not be feasible for large scale sequences with many small clips. I think it's best if I follow this up when I'm at work with my Avid in front of me so I can be a bit clearer and maybe take some screen grabs.
Cheers,
Andi

Andi,
I would not recommend grouping using your described method for a few reasons.
1 - when you have a sequence made up of many group clips, you cannot watch that sequence in split view in your source monitor.
2 - when cutting with your groups, matchback will only take you back to the individual group and not the whole sequence of the day.
3 - without making subclips, you will have parts of your groups that are not in sync (unless every camera on set cut at the same time, which probably doesn't happen). They will be in sync in the sequence you made, but they will have possible heads or tails not in sync that you will find when you matchback to the group from your timeline. This concept is a little hard to explain in writing.
4 - if you don't include external audio in the groups, you'll have to constantly be adjusting separate pieces of media in the timeline which really should be linked together.
If I'm missing something, definitely correct me.
I really like this tutorial for multigroups, by the way: How to MultiGroup in AVID Media Composer for Reality TeleVision
