Problem: I would like to pass values from one View into another View nested inside the original View.

Solution: You can place a View in a custom HTML block and include various shortcode attributes:

[wpv-view name="slug-of-nested-view" attr1="[wpv-post-id]" attr2="[types field='some-slug'][/types]"]

That would display the nested View and pass the current post ID from View 1 into an attribute attr1, and it would pass the value of custom field some-slug from the current post of View 1 into an attribute attr2.

Then in View #2, you can set various Query Filters to respond to these shortcode attributes, or you can use the wpv-attribute shortcode to access those attributes in the Loop editor:

Parent post ID: [wpv-attribute name="attr1"]<br />
Parent post custom field "some-slug": [wpv-attribute name="attr2"]
