Mark, I did see that the problem is mentioned there...
I think I understand this much now: the problem is fixed NOT by changing how I refer to the field in the CHILD tiddler, but instead in the way the parent-tiddler (which contains the tab set) handles the tabs? Happily, I now see that the out-of-box toc macro is actually handling the fields well when they're low down in nested contexts. So this actually *is* a version of my prior problem, which is how to rewrite my tab-set template so that it becomes properly nestable. Thanks.
