Hi, I haven't looked at your implementation, but using the layer keywords to build a hierarchical structure is the wrong way. The GetCapabilities response has a hierarchy of layers already, which is supported by the WMSCapabilitiesLoader.
To build this hierarchy with GeoServer, you can configure the "Default WMS Path" of your layers. See http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/webadmin/data/layers.html Regards, Andreas.
