Kevin,
Follow this example. It uses a master layout [A] and then an inner layout [B].
You need to
envision that the body content of A is B, and the body content of B is C.
<definition name="search_form_base" path="/layout/search_form_layout.jsp"> <-- A
<put name="FilterA" value="/pageComponents/FilterA.jsp" />
<put name="FilterB" value="search_form_view" /> <-- B
</definition>
<definition name="search_form_view" path="/pageComponents/FilterB.jsp"> <-- B
<put name="Button1" value="/pageComponents/Button1.jsp" /> <-- C
</definition>
