What I meant was "do the fragments lose hydrogens when they are 
connected?". In your case they don't - your methyl is exactly that - a 
methyl group CH3 with a "free valency".  If this is completely standard 
then there's no problem. It means preparing different fragments for each 
substitution pattern of a molecule. Do you, for example, have alpha- and 
beta- glucosyl?
