Yes, you can nest CFTRY blocks, but if you do, it's probably not going to
work the way you think.
For example, you could do this:
<cftry>
... some problem code ...
<cfcatch>
<cftry>
... some other problem code ...
<cfcatch>
... some solution ...
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
However, if the inner CFTRY/CFCATCH generates an unhandled exception, that
won't be handled by the outer CFCATCH (in this case, that's pretty obvious
because it occurs in the outer CFCATCH).
