ok, I understand better what you want now, but it is not possible (for
now) using phpESP ...
What you can do is use a seperation text for a question, and then ask
for each subpart a question, using html indention:

Q: Please check your favorite item in each category:

  q: which flowers:
  [ ] Red Roses
  [ ] Blue Violets
  [ ] White Carnations

  q: which fruit:
  [ ] Red Strawberries
  [ ] Blue Berries
  [ ] White Grapes

  q: which footware:
  [ ] Red Sandals
  [ ] Blue Slippers
  [ ] White Flipflops

I must say that you try to ask one question for several categories, and
phpESP just isn't designed for that ...
