Consider this fragment:

 Map<Foo, Bar> bars = new HashMap<>();
 List<Bar> barVals = new ArrayList<>();
 Set<Foo> foos = new TreeSet<>();
...
 Foo foo = new Foo();
 Bar bar = new Bar();
 bars.put(foo, bar);
 barVals.add(bar);
 foos.add(foo);
...

A pointer to the same 'foo' appears in 'bars' and in 'foos'.  A pointer to the same 'bar' appears in 'bars' and in 'barVals'.

Do that again with a new 'foo' and a new 'bar' a few times and you have "a group of objects" in all three collections simultaneously.
