Post two, has a description. Basically though, the CTRL and MACH each have a Value that point to a chunk number in the DeviceGroup reflexive. So to link up different items--like containment gates--there are two chunks in the DeviceGroup. Mach/Ctrl set 1 has these values at 0, and set 2 has the values at 1. So for example, to switch the gates on containment, just switch the chunk reference number in each mach to 1 or 0 (whatever the value is not already). Then if hit blue gate CTRL it will activate red gate.

In your case, just clone a device group chunk. And then set both the MACH and CTRL value to the number of the new device group. I don't know which value it is but it is there.

Zanzibar has a gate with a ctrl, so it must a at least one device group.

That would be a problem. And sorry your last post said Zanzibar. I haven't seen anyone with a good solution for adding reflexives yet. If you really want the gate, you could pull the zanzibar scnr as a whole into ivory tower and then rework all the dependencies and spawn points, etc.
