I have a view which has several page displays, where each display filters by Movie Type (4 of types). The path for those page displays are like movies/drama or movies/comedy. I am using the views Alpha Pagination module on each page display to build a alphabetical glossary type index bar across the top of the view. Each page display has as it's alpha pagination "Path to results view" setting to the appropriate path (movies/drama or movies/comedy etc). As far as I know this is configured properly and works as expected...if there is a better way, I'd like to hear about it.

I would also like to have a set of checkboxes for filtering Country via Better Exposed Filter. I would like this to appear in a separate block. I have it working but it feels pretty clunky. Rather than describing how I have it sort of working, could someone describe how this could be gracefully configured?

An example of using this view would be that the user selects the 'Drama' movie type filter tab (which is a page display); then in that result set filters using alpha pagination for title starting with "B"; and then clicks on the BEF exposed filter in the side block, filtering the result set for country of origin "Sweden".

I haven't made any progress on this issue in the last week; I've spent many hours trying to find something on this topic. It must be a common issue. There are posts about using tokens and that might be in the right direction but so far not at a level I can fathom.

a link to one of those posts referring to tokens may have been fruitful. Using filters is common. Using exposed filters within a glossary view may not be.
