I see the problem.

The structure of that query is

db(....).select(...,db(...)._select(...),...) # wrong

The DAL is not designed to do this because it is not a good idea (as
Michal points out). You may be able to do it anyway

db(....).select(...,db(...)._select(...)[:-1],...) # wrong?

But it may still not work. nested selects should go in the query, not
in the list of fields to be selected. You may need to refactor your
select. Perhaps if you explain in words what you are trying to select
we can help more.
