Express & Jade - max Block Nesting - node.js

Question

i use Express 3x + Jade + bootstrap +..etc
my block/extend structure looks like this
.layout.jade (only head stuff)
.topNav.jade (only top nav)
.sideNav.jade (sideNav and control center interface)
.slidePrem.jade (the actual content)
now i try to res render slidePrem
-> this renders sidenav, topnav, layout (so the "extends" statement is read out of slideprem)
but it wont show any content of slidePrem
so after many many hours of recoding, searching, reintending, etc
. i rewrote structure to slideprem -> sidenav -> layout
-> this renders slideprem, sidenav, layout
->>> So is there actually a limit of nested blocks?
-> is it editable?
-> or cld u imagine the error somewhere else?
regards Pika
Edit:
//slidePrem.jade//
extends ../sideNav
block wall
#bla (or alert or sth)
//sideNav.jade//
extends topNav
block content
#subHeader
#subHeadNav
#Content //doesnt conflict with "block content"
div.container
div.row
div.span9
block wall
div.span3
// further code
//topNav.jade//
extends layout
block navigation
div.topnav.....
div...
...
block content
#modal
//layout.jade//

Answer 1

You should try to work with includes instead of extends.
So you can try for your layout.jade :
html
head
(...)
body
block navigation
And in your navigation.jade block
extends layout
block navigation
.topnav (div aren't required in jade)
(...)
include content
Your content.jade only needs then
#subHeader
#subHeadNav
#Content //doesnt conflict with "block content"
div.container
div.row
div.span9
include wall
div.span3
If that's not clear enough, you can find all the include documentation on the GitHub page of the project.
I hope it'll help.
