hi michael, thank you very much for your answer. after reading your post, i did dive into the source files under tg/controllers and the documents. your post and the http://www.turbogears.org/2.1/docs/main/TGControllers.html page was very helpful.
for future references if anyone needs, here is how i am using nested routes with TG 2.1.4 -as it's the current version right now-: this is an exempt of my DocumentsController class: http://pastie.org/private/1vdjcqo2lbdj6p3zja7a and this is my PageController class: http://pastie.org/private/wleeeoph90geuly2bdh1g thanks again.
