So the external program section module (you have configured in 
SCFG->System->Loadable Modules->Xtrn Section) is xtrn_sec.js? That means you're 
wanting xtrn_sec.js to run recursively. It *might* work, but the command line 
would need to be "?xtrn_sec <section-name>" (as you had in your previous 
message on this topic).

But a better solution might be to use the "External Program Menu" module 
instead of xtrn_sec.js, as it claims to support 'any number of menus' (depth):

I think that's what you're looking for.
