Do you mean recursion or hierarchy?

Recursion:
	<Level>
		<Level>
			<Level></Level>
		</Level>
	</Level>

Hierarchy:

	<Company>
		<Name></Name>
		<Address></Address>
		<Contact>
			<Name></Name>
			<Address></Address>
		</Contact>
	</Company>

If you are talking about true recursion, I agree!  If you are
talking about hierarchy, I would not agree with a flat model.
