Hi Marco,
I hesitate to use combinations because Table 1.1 (a) and Table 1.1 (b)
are not always related to each other. But I will use combinations if
everything else fails.
Do you have any intuitions as to why the numbering begins at 7? I tried
to not use the outermost float ("\placetable[here,none][]{}{ ") and it
still started numbering at 7. I believe this is an issue with nested
tables, not nested floats.
Best regards,
Prash
