Well.... my first reaction is that this doesn't make sense.  Leaves 
don't have leaves.  That's what makes them leaves.

Your CustomerRestService is not a leaf resource.

Why do you think it should be one?

Right.  Because "nested leaf resource" is self contradictory.

Apart from what I said above, and still not really understanding why you 
want this, the implementation of the traversal mechanism is exposed as 
`twisted.web.resource.getChildForRequest`.  After you stop traversal 
with your first "leaf" resource, you can finish it by calling 
`getChildForRequest` manually, and then manually rendering the resulting 
resource.
