Today I've spend some time to analyse this issue.

First, wxGlade works as designed. There is no intention to nest
toplevel widgets. 

But it works sometimes, if you've designed the lower levels first and
the top at last. wxGlade processes the widgets linearly from the first
(on top in the widget tree dialog) to the last at the bottom in the
tree dialog. And wxGlade doesn't process widgets twice based on the
widget name. 

You example would work fine, if you place MyFrame at the bottom.
Otherwise the panel "Panel2" inside "notebook_5_pane_2" overwrites your
toplevel widget "Panel2".

Generally I wouldn't recommend the discussed structure. Instead I would
place the content inside the notebook panes and I would prevent
duplicate names.

HTH,
