You should be able to do that with a combination of bind and chooseTemplate.
For instance, your template could look like:
...
<lift:MySnippet.categories>
<h1>Categories</h1>
<categories:entries>
<category:name/>
<category:links>
<link:name/>
</category:links>
</categories:entries>
</lift:MySnippet.categories>
And then your code would look like:
val categories = ...
val catEntries : NodeSeq = categories.flatMap({category =>
val linkEntries : NodeSeq = category.links.flatMap({link =>
bind("link", chooseTemplate("category", "links"), "name" -> Text(
link.name)
})
bind("category", chooseTemplate("categories", "entries"),
"name" -> Text(category.name),
"links" -> linkEntries)
})
bind("categories", xhtml, "entries" -> catEntries)
Make sense?
