Checks if the given interval belongs to the coexistence group which consists of all list intervals.<br>
This is only the case when it starts within the minimum borders.<br>
If the minimum borders are a and b, the start time of the given interval has to lie in [a;b).
@param interval The interval to check.
@return <code>true</code> if the given interval belongs to the same coexistence group;<br>
<code>false</code> otherwise.
