[AMBER] How does PMEMD handle duplicates in GROUP?

Dear Amber users,

I am wondering how PMEMD handle duplicates in GROUP definitions, do they
get added together or overwritten?

I want to use 2 different restraint forces for the side chain and the
backbone of a protein.

I define the 2 groups as follow. My goal is to have a force constant of 10
for the backbone and 5 for side chain. Is this the correct way to do that
or do I need to spell out all atoms of the side chain? I am using
Charmm-gui output so I can't group based on tree name.

Thank you!

the mdout file gives:

 Protein SC posres

     GROUP 1 HAS HARMONIC CONSTRAINTS 5.00000
 GRP 1 RES 1 TO 297
      Number of atoms in this group = 4887
    ----- READING GROUP 2; TITLE:

     GROUP 2 HAS HARMONIC CONSTRAINTS 5.00000
      ALL ATOMS THAT MEET 1 OF THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICATIONS WILL BE
INCLUDED IN GROUP BELOW

      GRAPH NAME = O SYMBOL = * TREE SYMBOL = * RESIDUE TYPE
