I think you're doing something DynAPI isn't supporting. The inline layers are already
created in a non-nesting manner, and since they're not created as dynlayers they
cannot be made childs of another object (inline layer as well as dynlayer) after it
been added as child of another object - in this case the document. in short; you
cannot overwrite the existing nestinglevel with a new one.
I might be wet on my feets here, but I think that's the explaination... at least I'm
pretty sure the addchild call of homelayer into middlelayer is what's not working
correctly. inline.js would need to overwrite the default method function - which it
doesn't - to allow for this to work.
BTW did you get any Javascript error messages when running the page and what version
are you running (2.5)?
