It's a pretty simple question, which makes me feel a little bad about posting a topic for it so simply, but it is a question, and it's good to get opinions and/or answers.

Improved ability is obviously not allowed for a group in particular, but if you take a skill group, can you take improved ability for a skill within it without messing things up? In your opinion of it, would you allow it (though it will most likely make it impossible to train the skill group in game later by the cheaper amount), would you modify how it applies at that point, or just say 'no, get the skill separately'?

edit-

And while we're at it, I'll ask about Improved senses too: Just what qualifies as an enhancement you can't take because it requires technology? Obviously, radio stuff doesn't matter, but would that complicate ultrasound at all?
