It's probably not as complex as you think. The bundle class loaders are not 
arranged hierarchically so that within a particular instance of the 
framework things look fairly much the same regardless if you're in the nth 
nested framework or a top-level instance.

There's nothing in the framework that would prevent an arbitrary depth 
however I don't this has been investigated much beyond about 5 nestings 
though. On the other hand I've run 100s of top-level instances of the 
framework in one process so don't see this necessarily being a problem.
