I'm attempting to model a real-world table structure with an NSTableView. Here is what the table structure might look like on paper (warning: ASCII art ahead):
I hope you're not trying to duplicate the Windows table view with its lines indicating indentation depth. There are usability reasons why the Mac simply uses whitespace to indent its rows, and I wouldn't recommend adding lines to the indentation. The advantage of being able to count the lines is offset by the added clutter and by how busy lots of lines make your user interface.
I wrote about this concept (though not about lines in table views in particular) here: http://zathras.de/blog-spacing-boxes-and-other-layout-things.htm
