Oh you're not missing anything, you're raising a valid point.
When I designed the group access thing I made a vague assumption that if 
one wanted more than 1 group one could create a common ancestor group, 
That's why the code contains an isAncestor rather than an isParent call.

But perhaps you are right: if we add ancestors for such a purpose we 
load up the roles tree visually, whereas if we allow more than one group 
to be chosen in the UI, the choices get hidden away from sight wherever 
it is we store the mask data.

Feel free to modify:)
