WFS, by nature, does not allow for nesting. If you check out http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-capabilities.xsd, wfs:FeatureTypeList is defined, which allows for 1..* wfs:FeatureType only at that level. > Also, I don't see anything listed in the documentation and I > have tried both wfs_layer_group and simply setting the GROUP > parameter in the Layer.
