I’m building a site that has Continents, Regions and Cities. All are entered as separate records which are related to each other via Playa. So when I add “New South Wales” I drag over “Australia” as the Continent. When I add “Sydney” I choose “New South Wales as the region”.

However, I need to renders all three levels on one page. Playa uses {exp:playa:parents} as a replacement for reverse_related_entries, but this cannot be nested. So, I tried embedding another template within, but this isn’t working either.

{exp:channel:entries channel="destination" limit="1" sort="desc" orderby="title" status="not closed"} 
     <h1>{title}</h1>
     {dest_description}

    <!-- Related Subections --> 
    {exp:playa:parents}
        <h2>{title}</h2>
<p>        {region_description}<br />
        {embed="includes/locale"}<br />
    {/exp:playa:parents}<br />
   <br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

The “Includes” Locale is

{exp:playa:parents}
        <h2>{title}</h2><p>}<br />
    {/exp:playa:parents}

Am I Doing It Wrong?

Your embed isn’t aware of whats going on in the template it was called from. It runs completely separatley. You need to pass it some id or something than rerun the channel entries tag in order to get it working.
