Peter:

If you mean "is this box grouped with any other box?" then you could try
something like this:

tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress"
set tool mode to drag mode
class of current box
end tell

if the result is "generic box" you've got a group.

I suspect, though, that you really want to know "is this box grouped with
another specific box?" Maybe something like this:

tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress"
set tool mode to contents mode
set selected of text box 1 whose color is "red" to true
set tool mode to drag mode
set groupA to object reference of current box
set tool mode to contents mode
set selected of picture box 1 whose color is "blue" to true
set tool mode to drag mode
set groupB to object reference of current box
groupA is groupB
end tell
