Yes. It's just within a resource set, the sequence in which you
specify the resources in constraints is identical to that of groups,
and the reverse of standard binary colocation constraints. Confused
yet?

The 6.16 example in shell syntax is as follows:

colocation coloc-1 inf: ( A B C ) D

Just enter that into the configuration, and then do "configure show
xml coloc-1".

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Florian
