Based on how JTA's supposed to work, if a NEVER is calling a REQUIRES_NEW EJB, then the REQUIRES_NEW runs in its own transaction context. No exception should be thrown.
In my opinion, from a design stand point, assuming that you mean method A calls methods B and C, then A should be anything (preferably SUPPORTS), B should be SUPPORTS (not never) and C should be REQUIRED, not REQUIRES_NEW. As far as your comment about nested transactions, huh? EJB should be supporting nested, unless it's a limitation in OpenEJB...
