This is disallowed because it can be a meaningless construction, 
e.g. using groups within groups before they have been defined etc.
You can get around it in two ways: 


bootservers = ( host1.site1 host2.site1 ... host4.site2 ... )

etc using the AND sign "."

or you can keep a separate file for each site and import
the appropriate one based on a group defined "higher up".
