I don't see anything physically wrong with a nested $.getJSON. I suspect either your code or the return results.
I would extract the two callback functions into actual functions rather than just inline. Then I think you should be able to use Firebug's breakpoints on the callbacks to step through the code.

When I make the second call, the throbber in Firebug spins forever. I'm getting a list of changes from a database and then trying to get more precise data on each change with a second getJSON call in an anonymous function in the first getJSON call. Can anyone enlighten me on this?
