Thanks for that scenario Birkir. This is just the information I was looking for. I was assuming tabbing through the ckeckboxes. Bad to assume things like this I know. Slap on the wrist for me.

Yes if you arrow from the last checkbox you get to the No radio button. As you say, this is a realistic scenario in which the embedding causes a real problem.

But rather than using an aria-owns hack which sounds inherently unreliable, would it be better to add the checkbox group after the radio button group and achieve the visual embedding using CSS?
