Play nicely with access control modules? [#1421878]

I have (what seems to me) a dumb question: is this an access control module, or does it not count as one because it's merely separating existing permissions into something more fine-grained? Basically what I want to know is whether using this module as well as a node access module like Organic Groups will put me unto Multiple Access Control Module Hell.

I cant see it working with organic groups at all. Am I missing something?

One solution for sure:
You might create a checkbox as a field, give edit access to it for your roles in OG and hide that checkbox during any node view.
Use that field in your views (hide them) and use it to order your results.
You might use prepopulate module to prepopulate it in case you need that flag.

This isn't an 'access control module' because it doesn't affect who can see nodes. This is a module that controls access (yes, it's confusing) but since it's only changing who can edit different parts of a node, and not who can see it after it's saved, it shouldn't cause you any trouble if you use it in conjunction with Organic Groups, Node Access, or anything similar.
