groups in field_def.xml

[clem]

Context

Creating a group of variables in field_def.xml when variables are not of the same type is problematic.
I just did it for outputing conservation diagnostics (the one called OCE_BUDGET in field_def_oce.xml). When this group is called in file_def_oce.xml (instead of calling each variable), then the last output (in time) is not written properly in the netcdf file (NaN values).

Analysis

I think it occurs when mixing up SBC variables (nn_fsbc/=1) with other variables in the same group, though I do not understand why calling a group is different from calling each variable directly in the file_def.xml.
Setting nn_fsbc=1 resolves the issue but this is not a good solution.

In conclusion, one must be aware of that issue and this is why I opened a ticket.
I did not check for the trunk but I suppose this is the same thing
