I don't think that's a supported UI configuration. In general, sheets are reserved for short modal interactions, while drawers are intended to provide more in-depth options in non-modal windows. If you need an in-depth interaction in a sheet, that sounds like a very odd occurrence. May I ask why? What does the sheet contain, and what does the drawer add to that? If you just want to show an advanced checkbox as an additional option in the sheet, you should probably use a disclosure triangle. For example, we have this: http://twitpic.com/ckf5j2 that expands into this: http://twitpic.com/ckf5ob We originally didn't have this, but people kept checking the options when they didn't have to, so we decided to hide them. People who have problems go searching for more options and find them, but everyone else gets a fairly simple confirmation dialog.
