    Yep, nested DataContexts are fully supported.

    Still it should work ok, as a generic record in Cayenne is just a
    CayenneDataObject, same as used as a common superclass already.

    Theoretically you can customize the runtime to load an EOModel
    directly ... although there may be some issues converting inheritance
    and fetch specs, so you' probably want to import the EOModel in the
    Modeler, fix anything that doesn't look right, and then save as a
    Cayenne project.
