Hey Rich,
In AE this is known as ‘pre-composing’ – Select the layers you want to nest, hit ‘Layer’ in the top menu and select “Pre-compose’ (all the way down, right at the bottom). Or use the shortcut Cmd-Shift-C for mac / Cntrl-Shift-C on PC.
This will move the selected layers to an intermediary comp and leave you with a new layer in it’s place in your current timeline.

In After Effects, this is called precomposing. Select the two layers and press Cmd-Shift-C on a Mac, or Ctrl-Shift-C on a PC.

Sorry to duplicate your post, Charl — I didn’t see it yet when I posted mine.
