It should be pretty easy to do if you look at the order groups section
of the docs. Here is a link to order three separate items, with
the second and third "subitems" that will be removed when the
"master item" is removed.
[page href=ord/basket
form="
mv_action=refresh
mv_order_item=os29000
mv_order_quantity=1
mv_order_group=1
mv_order_item=os28004
mv_order_quantity=2
mv_order_group=1
mv_order_item=os28007
mv_order_quantity=1
mv_order_group=1
"]Order this set</page>
Obviously I don't know your products, so these are foundation/standard
demo products.
On the latest "mike/standard demo, this should result in only one
remove box in the cart.
I trust you will be able to figure out how to construct a form from this.
