Did you try creating a simple version of your messy code?  It is hard to
understand what you want to do in the first place.

Regarding the error, you are confusing multiple things here.  First, there
are no 22 nested loops.  As the error message says, you have "Too many
nested objects".  Now, as there is no line number given, just reduce you
code to a readable version and you should be able to find out where you are
nesting to many objects, which has nothing to do with the loop.

PS: In general, when asking for a bug confirmation, try to provide a
_simple_ and _readable_ example.  You speculation about the source of the
problem together with the wrong terms trying to explain it will not help
others to reproduce it, instead it just creates confusion and it will take
longer until you get a useful answer/confirmation :-)
