Does anyone know if you can use nested master pages in MOSS 2007 I have tried to do so using SharePoint designer and can't seem to get it to let me change the master page when I am developing against a MOSS 2007 server.
Every example that I have seen using Visual Studio 2005 doesn't have a master page reference at the top of the file.
I have some custom layouts that need to use one master page that doesn't have left hand navigation and some need to use another master page that has left side navigation. I was going to derive the one that has left side nav from the one that doesn't. The pages that need the left hand nav may live within a site that has pages that doesn't need the left hand nav. This stops me from using a new master page by site.
I am trying to avoid having to implement the left hand nav in each of of the custom layouts that need it if I can only have one master page.
Help,
