const Element& returned by member functions are references to internal data members. Since each object may have only one such data member for holding results, the following code will produce incorrect results: 
    abcd = group.Add(group.Add(a,b), group.Add(c,d));
 But this should be fine: 
    abcd = group.Add(a, group.Add(b, group.Add(c,d));
