Brian,
if you review my latest article on FuseQ at techspedition.com ("All 'Layed'
Up, Part Deux") you'll see that you can implement nested layout using FuseQ
only (if that is what you want to do). Perhaps that will spark some ideas.
Alternatively, from what you've described you could consider turning nested
layout off completely (a la suppresslayout = true as a global) and then use
layout fuses for applying layout when and where you want it. It's very much
dependent on what you've got going on in your project, so there's no single
answer to all layout questions.
