Not sure. It seems like it should work. I have dataTables nested inside of dataLists. One thing I do differently is bind my UIData components to the backing bean and ask for the data directly, ie,<h:dataTable binding="#{bean.childUIData}" value="#{p.childModel}" var="c">
I've had success with the binding/UIData approach as well. it even works if the backing bean is request-scoped, because it won't matter if your ListModel instance variable hasn't been initialized yet.
I've done it with <t:dataList> as well but I imagine it would work equally well with a nested <h:dataModel>.
