So my first question is if zone nesting relies on the zones being
subsets of each other on a network level? I.e. host based zones where
the parent zone is a superset of the child zone.

Yes.


The documentation example is of this type, but it doesn't say that this
is required. I was naively hoping that the CONTINUE policy of a child
zone would result in a -j to the parent zone chain(s) in iptables. But
no such rules are generated, and I can't really find anything in the
code that uses the parent information in a useful way.

The 3.x and 4.0 code only use the information to order the zone list.


My specific case is that I have zones gst,wif and vir, all with their
own interfaces.

Nested zones do not apply unless you define a super-zone that includes all three interfaces then make that the parent zone of each of the individual zones.
