  The problem you have is that you cannot add a window to another window, but you can open one from a window.

  Drop this code into your app.js, and hopefully you will see what I mean:

  var win1 = Ti.UI.createWindow({  
      backgroundColor:'red',
      navBarHidden:false,
      title:'this is window 1'
  });
  
  var view1 = Ti.UI.createView({
      backgroundColor:'green'
  });
  win1.add(view1);
  
  var button = Ti.UI.createButton({
      title:'open win2'
  });
  view1.add(button);
  
  button.addEventListener('click', function(){
      var win2 = Ti.UI.createWindow({  
          backgroundColor:'blue',
          navBarHidden:false,
          title:'this is window 2'
      });
  
      var view1 = Ti.UI.createView({
          backgroundColor:'yellow'
      });
  
      win2.open();    
  });
  

• AFAIK, windows exist on their own, not as children of anything, particularly each other. You can create multiple windows and hide/show them as needed. But, you can't do as you were trying to do. If you don't need anything especially window-ish, could you use a view for your subwin?
