No, if you have widget A added to a layout thats set on widget B and
widget A's parent is not widget B then A is _always_ reparented to B.
The code for that is in qwidget.cpp and qlayout.cpp. IIRC this is also
documented in the QLayout api docs.

Recursive layouts are not supported by Qt, i.e. you can't add the box to
the box' layout.
