Maybe a graphical view will help you better.

Note that I am not sure if this is 100% correct, but it worked
for me. I just looked into the source for the few bits I did not
pick on the mailing list.

So, I paste here what I did:

================================
================================
================================
## BEGIN: LOGS LAYOUT ##

layout new system_logs

screen -t 1 //group
screen -t "htop" htop

screen -t 5 //group
screen -t "trash" bash

screen -t 2 //group
screen -t "fvwm" tail -f ~/logs/fvwm.log

screen -t 3 //group
screen -t "www" tail -f /var/log/lighttpd/access.log

screen -t 4 //group
screen -t "messages" tail -f /var/log/messages

split -v
resize -v 65%
split
resize 90%
focus
select trash
focus
split
resize -v 30%
select fvwm
focus
split
select www
focus
select messages
focus
select htop

layout save system_logs

## END: LOGS LAYOUT ##




## BEGIN: WORK LAYOUT ##

layout new work

screen -t 1 //group
screen -t "bash" bash
screen -t "cash" bash
screen -t "dash" bash
screen -t "root" su -c 'bash'

screen -t 2 //group
screen -t "irssi" irssi -c jesgue.homelinux.org

screen -t 3 //group
screen -t "moc" mocp
screen -t "mc" mc ~/storage/ ~/

split -v
resize -v 60%
focus
split
resize -h 60%
select irssi
focus
select moc
focus
select bash

layout save work

## END: WORK LAYOUT ##




## === ##

layout load "work"

bindkey "^H" layout next
bindkey "^[Oa" focus up
bindkey "^[Ob" focus down
bindkey "^[Oc" next
bindkey "^[Od" prev

Two layouts, you change between them using C-backspace.

Many frames on each layout, you change current frame using C-up/down arrows.

A group on each frame, some groups have only one window.
On screenrc you "tie" a group to a frame just select'ing one
of the windows in that group. You can see that from that point,
only the windows in that group appears in the status bar of the
given group.

You cycle through windows into a group using C-left/right arrows.
If a given group has only one window, you can't cycle.

layout 1:

layout 2:

I hope this helps you in any way. If not, just ask, though I am not
a master when it comes to screen. But I can try to help.
