I'm sure you could repurpose the solution we came up with in this thread:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/parameters-for-range-of-r...

that checks random number pairs for a definable minimum distance.. several methods mentioned there. I haven't tried this random num on surface thing here, but as "random" components are in it I'm sure you could make it work with the thing I just mentioned.

what i haven't completely understood yet is: What is "Seed"? it occurs with so many of the tools.
in this particular case, what do the panels "1" and "2" do for the Random function?

David posted a comprehensive explanation _here_.

The seed is the starting point for the random number calculation. Each seed gives you a different sequence of "random" numbers.

To have unique or at least different random numbers in your definition, you need to use different seeds in each random data branch.
