There are different ways to nest a workflow. Depending on the requirement you could pick the method.

One way is to add a "wftask" tag in the wft file. In this tag you could specify the target wft file. To do this the syntax is as follows:
<wftask name="somename" owner="someowner" start="f">
__INSERT__("<areavpath v='$area_vpath'/>");
<successors>
<successorset description = "somedescription">
<succ v="sometask-probablyend"/>
</successorset>
</successors>
<wftfile v="__INSERT__('absolute_path');"/>
</wftask>

To get the DCR path, if it is already included in the parent workflow, it will be available to the child workflow automatically. Otherwise one could use the extended attributes to recollect the DCR name. Depends on the situation.

The other methods are by making an explicit call using CLT iwjobc or even calling the iwwft_instantiator.cgi and passing query string wiht parameters to it.

The first method of wftask tag would probably best suit the present requirements.
