Hasn't anyone told you tables-inside-tables are evil? Yeah, I use them 
too... (grin)

First, build a separate component for your inside table. Use a WOTable if 
you'd like.

Next, build your outside table component, and inside the WOTable put your 
first component.

By the way, it appears you're thinking procedurally in terms of creating 
an instance/populating it/returning it. That's not necessary. Just 
declaring your component in your .wo file and hooking up it bindings is 
enough. WebObjects will handle the creating/populating/handling for you.
