Randomizing radiobuttons within and between surveypages

Hello,

I am currently working on an experiment where many questions are asked using sliders and radiobuttons. Example:

<radiobuttons GMS3>
/caption = "Je kunt wel nieuwe dingen leren, maar in de basis kun je je intelligentie niet echt veranderen."
/fontstyle = ("Arial", 12pt, true)
/options = ("1 (Niet)", "  2  ", "  3  ", "  4  ", "  5  ", "  6  ", " 7 (Zeer)")
/optionvalues = ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7")
/responsefontstyle = ("Arial", 12pt)
/orientation = horizontal
/txcolor = (0,0,0)
</radiobuttons>

<surveypage traits_GMS>
/questions = [1=instructies_GMS; 2-7=noreplace(GMS1, GMS2, GMS3, GMS4, GMS5, GMS6)]
/finishlabel = "volgende"
/nextbuttonposition = (90%,90%)
/txcolor = (0, 0, 0)
/showquestionnumbers = false
/fontstyle = ("Arial", 16pt)
/navigationbuttonfontstyle = ("Arial", 12pt)
/itemspacing = (50)
/showpagenumbers = false
/showbackbutton = false
/showmousecursor = true
</surveypage>

As you can see here, I managed to randomize the questions within this surveypage. I have dozens more radiobuttons on different surveypages. What I would like to do is to randomize radiobuttons between pages as well. So that some participants see Q1 on page one, but others will see Q1 on page two. Within these pages, the radiobuttons are again in random order.

My idea was to create a list that holds all questions (radiobuttons), so that each page would pick 4 or 5 questions from my list with questions (without replacement). Eventually all questions would be picked from the list in random order within and between pages. However I was not able to put my plan into practice.
Is something like I had in mind possible in Inquisit?

No, this isn't really possible I'm afraid.
