I am needing to auto increment a field based on groups within a feature class. I have 8 plots within a given polygon and I need to assign them an ID from 1-8 for each set of plots within each polygon. The polygon would have its own unique ID number to be used to group the plots.

I assume it would be an alteration of this:

rec=0
def autoIncrement():
 global rec
 pStart = 1 
 pInterval = 1 
 if (rec == 0): 
  rec = pStart 
 else: 
  rec = rec + pInterval 
 return rec
