This is why we haven't put much effort into it ourselves. The way to do it is non-obvious (if even possible), and even if it was achievable then you would be fighting with Illustrator's user-configurable workspaces at startup (that back in ADM seemed to override developer's panel grouping anyway). And even if you managed to deal with that problem at startup, you wouldn't be able to stop a user from ungrouping your panels at runtime or grouping other panels with them!
In other words, the best solution is simply to not design your panels such that one greatly depends on another (i.e. always being grouped with together) and let the user worry about how they'd like them grouped.
