Floating objects or floats exist in many instances. One predefined instance is figure and a second is table. So \placelistofINSTANCEs will give you the list. You can define more floating objects, for example a sidebox, etc.
The figure and table lists can be combined:
\definecombinedlist [figuresandtables] [figure,table]
\placelistoffiguresandtables
or something like that.

\startcombination [nx=1,ny=2] % my preferred syntax
\stopcombination
allows you to create a combined (matrix) of graphics. It is indeed generally used inside a float construct such as \startplacefigure ... \stopplacefigure.
By the way, "alternative=label" is a favorite of mine, making it unnecessary to explicitly include labels, as in:
\startcombination [nx=1,ny=2,alternative=label]
{My top graphic}
{My bottom graphic}
\stopcombination
rather than
\startcombination [nx=1,ny=2]
{My top graphic} {a}
{My bottom graphic} {b}
\stopcombination
