Related entries inside of related entries?

Forgive me if this has already been covered. Say I’ve got several product lines, and I’m using Playa to dictate which products belong in each product line. So, each product line has many products, but each product also uses related entries to list what sizes and shapes the product comes in. Here’s my simplified template code:
{assign_variable:my_weblog="product_lines"}
{assign_variable:template_group="product"}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}"}
<h2>{title}</h2>
<div>
<h3>{title} Products</h3>
Our products...yada yada yada.
{!-- Playa grabs the products in this product line. --}
{related_entries id="product_line_products"}
{!-- The title shows up fine because it is defined in the product entry. --}
<h4><a href="http://{path=product/detail/{url_title}/}">{title}</a></h4>
{!-- However, the following info prints correctly. I have a weblog for --}
{!-- different product packaging configurations, and I used a related --}
{!-- entry field in the product entry to associate it with the correct --}
{!-- packaging configuration. --}
{related_entries id="product_packaging"}{title}{/related_entries}
{/related_entries}
</div>
{/exp:weblog:entries}The nested ‘related_entries’ tag gets printed to the screen, and the parent ‘related_entries’ uses the nested {/related_entries} tag to close itself.
Is there any way around this?

Playa is a third party offering, so I’ll move this to the extensions forum for additional community involvement.
