The invention resides in a method, system and program product for grouping related program sequences for performing a task. The method includes establishing, using a first code for grouping, one or more groups that can be formed between one or more related group-elements obtained from a plurality of groupable program flow documents, and executing, using a group program sequence engine, the groupable program flow documents, wherein each group-element considered an ancestor group-element of a group established and validated by the first code is executed before executing a related group-element obtained from the group, and wherein the related group-element of the group is executed only once during execution of the groupable program flow documents for performing the task. In an embodiment, the establishing step includes identifying a name attribute specified in the one or more related group-elements for establishing the one or more groups.
