Share list based on primary group

Yes, use:
	Include = /etc/samba/smb.%L.%G

However, %G is the primary group.  (This is the group number in /etc/passwd).
You can't control based upon secondary groups.  It would need to
try each group in turn, or something like that, so it is not supported.

I think is says something in the documentation that %g is not "known"
at this time.  It only gets resolved after authentication.
