The type of a context can never be the same as the type of any of its 
children.

If you want to increase the nesting arbitrarily, you'll probably have to 
create new context types, using \layout { \context{...} } blocks. Look at 
engraver-init.ly for ideas. If you nest in the right order, you can get 
pretty deep nesting without tweaking, but it seldom makes sense:
\new StaffGroup <<
  \new ChoirStaff <<
    \new InnerStaffGroup <<
      \new PianoStaff <<
        ...
