Yes, please a patch against latest cvs would be welcome.
A patch for /lib/doc/UserGuide.lyx and a changelog entry.
Testing shows that:
* All the sectioning environments may be nested into other environments.
Both lyx-1.4 and latex accepts this. Not all of the sectioning levels
seems
useful to nest, but lower levels like "section*" may be useful when
one feel like putting a heading inside a (big) list item. It was
questions about
such headings on the user list that got me testing this in the first
place.
* An abstract may be nested into other environments, and it also accepts
other environments nested into it. The latter is clearly useful.
I am not so sure about the former. But it works well, and may perhaps
be useful
for creating summaries of items in nested environments.
* A caption can be nested into other environments. Trouble-free but odd.
This must be done inside a float, of course.
Lyx also allows nesting of Title, Date and Author. Latex accepts this,
but nesting the title makes it disappear, and nesting Date and Author
makes them look just like "standard", i.e. they are no longer centered
and the text reverts to normal size. So I left these as "unnestables"
because it doesn't work very well at all.

+ * UserGuide.lyx: Corrected information about nesting:
+ - sections etc can be nested into other environments,
+ so removed information about this being impossible.
+ - An abstract can be nested, and other stuff may be nested
+ into it, removed information about this being impossible
+ - A caption can be nested into other paragraphs, removed
+ the "vice versa" indicating this being impossible.
+ - Updated the lists in section "What You Can and Can't Nest"
