There is a bug on this; have a look in bugzilla.mozilla.org. No-one's 
implemented it; but I seem to remember from last time that this was 
discussed that the consensus was:

- infinite levels may be ultra-flexible, but are a nightmare to 
administer and provide sane UI for within an HTML form environment. 
Adding a third level would give you 95% of what infinite levels would.

- Said third level should probably be added above Products rather than 
below Components, for various data-integrity reasons. It would have an 
intermediate screen, like you get when you change products, if there 
were field value mismatches.
