Creating a command that runs other commands

Often you will want to run multiple commands, one after another to enable more complex behaviors in your program. Once each of the individual commands have been debugged, you can create a CommandGroup. A CommandGroup is a named set of commands that may be executed sequentially or in parallel.

Add each command to command group that should be sequentially scheduled when the command group is scheduled. This allows you to build up complex commands based on simpler and tested commands. For each command that should run, call the addSequential() method with a reference to the instance of the command.
