When a repeat section is created inside a wider one, the inside repeat section is played only once.

Repeats don't nest, and this is by design, I'm affraid. It not only confuses MuseScore, it'd also confuse musicians.
You are talking about something like
|: ... |: ... :| ... :|
aren't you?
You can do something like
Segno ... |: ... :| ... DS
It would not repeat the inner section though on 2nd run and there's an open feaure request for that, to have 'jumps with repeats'

Thank you for your help
What I do actually, is simply copying and pasting the inner repeat section, as many times as necessary (and suppressing the I: and :I bars, of course).
