Unfortunately your idea will not work for me because when I reference controls by control index it gives me the original checkbox put on frame at design time instead of the alias.. 
Makes sense, because changing a control's Name at runtime does not destroy and recreate the control, and doesn't have any effect on the order of controls.
I guess creating at runtime is only way?
The real question is - WHY are you renaming controls at runtime which are created at design-time? What are you actually using the names for? If you need references to controls that are not affected by changing their design-time names at runtime, then you need to maintain your own references at runtime.
Another problem I’m having is I can’t seem to make the checkbox the first control on the frame at runtime, {another control was placed on frame at design time.} The setcontrolindex (checkbox,0) does not make it the first element in controls array. Am I doing something wrong?
Can you show your actual code?
I guess the control index of the one placed at design time cannot be changed either?
I don't see why not. Design-time objects are still created at runtime. Once they are created, you can do whatever you want with them.
SetControlIndex()/
SetChildZPosition() does not do anything special with controls created at design-time vs at runtime.
