If you look at the relevant comments in the ModelTest class you'll see
that its intent is to help people writing the 'usual' models. Hence it
checks for such weird things like nesting on column 2, which you don't
want in most cases and which can lead to problems when using the model
with Qt's views. 

If you specifically want to have nested columns beyond the first, then
disable the check in the test.
