The default listen policy at the moment is simply "listen to the first
beacon-identified Speaker, ignore others initially."  The app above the
BibleSync library is responsible for any deeper analysis and more
precise choice, presumably on user input.  In Xiphos' Prefs dialog,
there is a list of Speakers already known, with checkboxes for those
being heard, along with radio buttons for listen selective/all/none.

So I would say that your team subset in need of mutual navigation is
merely the users' checkbox choices of those to whom you listen. 
Alternatively, each team subset could be using BibleSync with their own
subset-specific passphrase, in which case The Other Subset's passphrase
represents a simple mismatch, ignored as such.

We have a small standalone utility, xiphos-nav, part of our regular
package in Linux builds, intended to be installed as the handler of
sword:// URLs, which navigates Xiphos that way.  I'm unaware of any
other examples.
