To: Mu, Re: Moons within the orbits of other moons.
I think that the planet would have to be large enough so that the bigger moon could have an orbit large enough to fit the smaller moon within the orbit.
Sadly, I think that this is exactly the sort of problem that falls in to the category of 'three body problems' which are not deterministically computable. I think.
