Re: acl maxconn and max_user_ip config help please

First, thanks for answering.
Second, I have read the entire default conf file, yes, once made the mistake of reading one for a different squid version than mine, but then got a fresh 
copy of the one for my exact version.
I've also read the FAQ, and most all the configuration guide, but if I had not I certainly would be greatful for the links.
My misunderstanding then is now in how to apply a rule that will only effect group foo with out reusing the name.
Would I first name the group as I have and then make a maxconn line, e.g.
acl foo_MC maxconn 15
and then
 http_access allow foo
http_access foo_MC

and if this is correct, is it just the ordering there that means that this maxconn will only apply to group foo?
If not, how do I make the rule only apply to group foo?
And I read the posts that came up in the archive before askig as well.

Good, that's what made sense to me, but one statement in the documentation, don't remember exactly where, had me doubting myself.
