I've been working with Backbone exclusively for the last six months or so, so don't know what other frameworks are doing with nested views. The OP marks this as one of Backbone's shortcomings.
I've been writing my backbone app effectively with nested views, where parent views pass relevant information to child views either through initialization or functions on the child view, while the child view "communicates" with the parent view through events that the PV can bind to.
I kind of like the idea of child views not knowing or caring who created them or why. I do this e.g. with buttons, forms, panels and subpanels, etc.

Is there a good resource for best practices here?
