Nested Communications sites?
Can a Communication Site be a Sub-site under a Communications SIte in sort of a Parent Child relationhsip? For example the search in a Comms site only searches within a Comms site by default and we would want it to search several nested sub-sites.
Seems not possible now, but in the future?

It's not possible from what I gather. It was discussed in the AMA from a while back - Can Comm Sites have subsites? and from this:
"We definitely plan to address as modern sites are site collections and support a "flatter" hierarchy, but still require ways to be connected w/ other sites and their content. More on this work later this year."
So it is something that is being looked at.
I seem to be able to attempt to create a subsite under a communication site, but it brings up the standard/classic Team site creation page. I did not go ahead and attempt creation of one, however, they've left a Subsites tab within the Site Contents modern page which makes me think Nested Subsites are coming...both classic and modern. See below:
- Of course, you can create subsites under a communication site but without any kind of templating functionality...you just will create classic SPO sites...same happens when you create a subsite from a modern SPO site
- AFAIK, no
- No they are site collections only
