I'm trying to have a dynamic and cascading select in my ODK form but in the
same group or same page display. I tried it in separate pages, and it
worked. I would be thankful if you share with me how to do this in the same
page
So in this case no way to have cascading select in ODK in the same filed
list. Will the workarounds make me have things which are dependent on each
other on the same page?

This is the normal and intended behavior. If you have questions that
should appear or not based upon answers to earlier questions, they
cannot appear on the same screen ("field-list" group), they must
appear on a subsequent screen.

Why is this intended behaviour? To my and my group it will be really user friendly to allow this sort of functionality on one-pagers.
I have not had the opportunity to inspect the code yet, but could this not be fixed by issuing a repaint event when an element with a relevancy pointed to it is changed?
Cheers

The ODK tools are actively modified and extended by undergraduates as part
of individual courses that last only a quarter; the ODK project itself is
an outgrowth of software written by Yaw and Carl for their PhDs and by
numerous undergrads who contributed many additional features.
This particular functionality was viewed as too complex for undergraduates
to maintain and extend without badly breaking the code.
In an effort to make the code more accessible, it was removed.
