If you keep the two compositions separate, you can add them both to the Document Type (as long as none of them defines the same property alias).
They can even all use the same tab (or group) names to collect the properties on.
Alternatively, maybe it's inheritance you want (where you create a doctype as a child of another)? While this is possible (and supported) it forces you to plan really carefully which properties you put on the parent as they're all copied to the child.
I am marking this as the solution as I believe it is correct. Also, I think it is valuable the point that they compositions can use the same tab or group names. This means that I can add a number of small compositions and pick and choose as needed. While having a "master" composition might help, it would not really save that much time.
Multiple level compositions
Is it not possible to have multiple level compositions?
If I add a composition and add it to another composition, I then do not seem to be able to use that second composition with a document type.
Hi Jonathan,

Hope this helps,
