Add the tableView as a subview to the cell. Next assign a delegate/datasource to the tableview. This can be the same object as the outer tableViews datasource/delegate. Every time a delegate method is called, the tableView is send along as a parameter and you can simply do (assuming you have properties for both tableViews):

if (tableView == self.outerTableView){
    // ... do stuff for outer tableView
} else if (tableView == self.innerTableView) {
    // ... do stuff for inner tableVIew
}

I am assuming here that you have only one cell with one tableView in it. If you have more cells with a tableView in it, the idea can stay the same, except that with many cells with tableViews there is surely a better place to handle the tableViewCallbacks than in the viewController of the outer tableView.
