The nested tag deals with nested objects. In other words it will deal with beans in a hierarchal manner. Only if each "master" object in your "master" collection has a collection of "detail" objects can nested tags work here. If you want to merge two collections into a display you would be better off using jstl for that. However, you might be pushing unnecessary logic into your page.
I am not familiar with how your two different collections are set up. If you have two action forms with two different collections (questionable practice) that somehow coincide you will have a difficult time making them mesh on the page. If you provide more concrete information on the content of the individual collections and why you have chosen to have two ActionForms to get data from you might find more specific help here.
