Remarks

Only elements from a single page layout can be copied at one time. To copy elements from page layouts, CopyElements must be called each time.
If a group element is provided in the list of elements to be copied then the group element and all its children will be copied.
If a child of a group element is provided in the list in addition to its parent then the parent takes precedence (i.e. the entire group element is copied and not just that child).
If a child element of a group element is provided in the list but its parent is not then only the child element is copied. The parent of the copied element will become the target group element.
