Sorry, a quick answer.
Yes, remedies are often grouped according to a common group feature in the proving as well as their chemical nature or source.
Eg: Acid group remedies: most of them have prostration as a marked symptom. Ulcerations, acidity.
Snake group remedies: HAve aversion to tight collars, have a haemorrhagic tendency, etc.
Sulphur salts: tend to be hot (except HEpar Sulph), have yellow discharges, < heat, HAve symptoms wiht burning sensations, etc.
This idea helps in studying/learning the remedy as well as in making a choice of remedy for a patient.
As far as remedy relationships go in a clinical situation, I think it is pure clinical observation of remedies being related in action to each other rather than knowing before hand based on the above type of groupings.
I hope this is what you were asking.
