I knew I would have to get into explaining this. There is no nesting.  
What I have are two verses, say,
{\autoBeamOff c8 d e4 f g}
and in the second verse,
{\autoBeamOff c8[ d] e4 f g}.
Engraving that isn't really a problem
\relative {\autoBeamOff <<{\voiceOne c8 d } \new Voice {\voiceTwo c8 
[ d] }>>\oneVoice e4 f g}
That's fine. I have it happening tons of times. The problem is then  
having lyrics automatically align to these notes. Usually I just name  
my voice context and be done with it:
\relative {
        \context Voice = "unbeamed notes"
        \autoBeamOff
        <<
                { \voiceone c8 d}
                \context Voice = "beamed notes" { \voiceTwo c8[ d] }
        >> \oneVoice e4 f g
}
And then I automatically add text to it, using the above method.  
Problem is, with it happening 10 or more times in a single piece, I'm  
having problems aligning all of the lyrics to the appropriate notes.
