You might want to consider using an industry-standard process modelling language. The BPMI (BPMI.org) have a spec out called BPML, and the WfMC (wfmc.org) is working on an XML version of their WPDL spec (called XPDL). If you're interested contact me off-list for more details. More to the point of your question though :-), it sounds like you're trying to model a sub-process. So you might want to embed a higher-level element (such as whatever you're using to represent a process) within the activity. This would result in a recursive structure allowing arbitrary depth.

(GOF like) I'm thinking of acitivites that are themselves a logical group of activities. The only thing I can come up w/ is using a sub-activity element, but that would only allow a static depth to the model.
