I'm not quite sure I understand the problem. In each phase's section, you
are supposed to identify the one (or more) predecessor phase sections. For
example, in MPI install phases, you specify an "mpi_get" field that
indicates which MPI get phases should be built with this install section:

[MPI Get: foo]
...

[MPI Get: bar]
....

[MPI Install: whatever]
Mpi_get = foo,bar

The "whatever" MPI install section will build both the "foo" and "bar" MPI
get sections. This is also true with test get, build, and run phases.

[Test get: foo]
...

[Test build: bar]
Test_get = foo

[test run: baz]
Test_build = bar

These "back pointer" fields refer backwards to its parent/predecessor phase.
They can also be comma-delimited lists of phase names (just like the
"mpi_get" field in the MPI install phase) to help prevent duplication in the
ini file.

So MTT does not assume or require that test get, build, and run phases all
have the same base phase name (e.g., [test get: intel], [test build: intel],
[test run: intel]). You just have to link up names correctly with the
corresponding "back pointer" field names.

Having said all that, does this make your problem easier? I'm not entirely
sure I understand the problem, so I'm not entirely sure that this is the
answer. :-)
