multilayered, nesting does not apply to these types of effects; nor do
nesting effects apply to audio tracks.

Some effects do not work well with each other when nesting. For example, the
Box Wipe effect and Edge Wipe effect cannot be used together in a nested
segment because the two effects are competing to establish the shape of the
wipe.
You can also use nesting to constrain one effect with another effect. For
example, you can use the Circle Wipe effect to constrain an image
posterization inside a region.
Expanding Nested Effects in the Timeline
You can expand an existing nested effect for editing within the
Timeline. You can then add new tracks, edit source material into the
tracks, apply effects, and adjust effects on the nested tracks. Any
segment with a segment effect applied can be expanded in this way.
To expand a nested effect, do one of the following:
t Click either the Extract/Splice-in button or the Lift/Overwrite
button, and then double-click the nested effect to expand the effect
within the Timeline.
t With the Effect Editor open, double-click the nested effect.
The nested tracks appear in the Timeline above the track you
double-clicked. Editing and patching features are available for
changing the content of the track’s effect.
To step out of the nested effect, double-click the effect’s icon in the
Timeline.
