I have done exactly that for an application. There's no reason you cannot have a view, with a corresponding presenter, that contains two views that have their own presenters. You can even use UiBinder to put those two views within the higher level view. So your DockLayoutPanel might be your base widget for your higher level view, and you might have MyWestView to the west and MyCenterView to the right. Then it's just a matter of binding the presenters to the instances of the views the higher level view references.
