Could Somebody Explain Our Procurve Running Config on an HP 5308XL Procurve?

I am new to Procurve configuration, and I was wondering if somebody could explain part of our running config? The entire thing is posted in the code section. Here's our question...

It seems that on interface H3-H4, we turn lacp (we're assuming this is link aggregation protocol) OFF, but just a few lines later, it's being trunked, and turned back on? Is there some reason we have to turn it off first? Is that what is actually happening, and why? Thanks!

If you don't want it, have you tried:
no trunk H3-H4 Trk1 LACP
interface H3
   no lacp
exit
interface H4
   no lacp
exit
write mem

We want it trunked. We're just wondering what HP's logic is behind turning NO LACP and then turning right around and saying LACP TRUNK. Why turn it off, then back on? Is this just the way "it is" because the Procurve gods said it should be so? That's all we really need to know. Thanks! :-)
