Southwest has had the "cattle call" boarding practice since they stated. And yes, if a party has multiple letters, the whole group can board with the highest letter.
In regards to children: Southwest allows families with children to board after group A and before Group B.
If you are a passenger who needs a specific seat assignement to accomodate a disability, then Southwest is required to allow you to board the aircraft before Group A.
Edit: There are many people who refuse to fly Southwest, solely because of the boarding practice. My father being one of them. But as long as you are aware of it and check in early on line and print out your passes, you should be able to sit with your travling companions.
