My guess is that it's trying to build the complete filter even before it runs, so that's why you hit the recursive limit. That is, it's not running one filter, running the next, testing, etc. It's trying to build the whole thing, which has no way of exiting.
Since you know about how many levels, maybe you could prevent the over-run like this: \define subfilter-test5() [tagging[]] [tagging[]] \define subfilter-test4() [tagging[]] [tagging[]subfilter<subfilter-test5>] \define subfilter-test3() [tagging[]] [tagging[]subfilter<subfilter-test4>] \define subfilter-test2() [tagging[]] [tagging[]subfilter<subfilter-test3>] \define subfilter-test() [tagging[]] [tagging[]subfilter<subfilter-test2>] <$set name="test" filter="[[HelloThere]subfilter<subfilter-test>]"> <$list filter="=[enlist<test>]" template="$:/core/ui/ListItemTemplate" /> </$set> You can add on as many levels as you think you'll ever need.
