This isn't exactly what we want (since only one index is allowed) but it may 
give us some ideas (at the very least eliminate tendious hard coding of 
naviagational links; which would have to be redone whenever a book is 
reorganized).

As explained at http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/PmWiki/WikiGroup

They have an index; here for example

http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/PmWiki/DocumentationIndex

That is where they organize the different "WikiGroups" using a wiki-editable  
index/TOC just like what Toby and I proposed.

Then, on one of the pages linked from the index you write:

%trail%<<|PmWiki.DocumentationIndex|>>

Which, for the WikiGroup page becomes; 

<< WikiStructures | PmWiki.DocumentationIndex | Passwords >> 

Now look at the index again;

http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/PmWiki/DocumentationIndex

Notice WikiGroup is in between WikiStructures and Passwords?

Killer.
