Holy crap. This nested layouts thing is awesome...
Check out this helper:
def parent_layout(layout, &block)
render capture(&block), :layout => layout

Now any of my layouts can specify its parent layout via a simple block
sublayout.html.haml
= parent_layout "application" do
.sublayout
= catch_content :for_layout
