[Twisted-web] Nested Nevow templates

[orbitz]

Render methods can return rend.Page's. so

def render_nested(self, context, data):
    return Mypage()

If you want to pass data then just do
<nevow:data="whatever" nevow:render="nested"/>

Then define data_whatever to put some data on the stack and 
render_whatever to take the data and pass it ot yoru page constructor
