If you need multiple layers of nesting, I suggest creating a relation from the task type to itself, using a one-to-many relation (assuming that ‘child’ tasks can only have one ‘parent’ task, but a parent task can have multiple children).  
You will probably find [hierarchical lists](https://community.fibery.io/t/changelog-february-25-hierarchical-lists-beta-some-improvements/1403) a good way to represent the multiple nesting (they’re pretty similar to smart folders in behaviour, and they’re no longer a beta feature 🙂 ).
