calling block from another block

Question

I am calling a block left.phtml from my main store file like this:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('left') ?>

In the layout file this is described as:

<reference name="left">
        <block type="marketplace/storeleft" name="store_left" template="marketplace/storesearch/left.phtml" />
</reference>

Till now everything is working fine. Now I want to call another block from within this block:

    <div class="parlor-detail-top">
        <div class="shop_bakery">
            <a href="#" class="shop_now">SHOP NOW</a>
        </div>
        <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('rate_bakery'); ?>
    </div>

I have changed the layout file for this

<reference name="left">
    <block type="marketplace/storeleft" name="store_left" template="marketplace/storesearch/left.phtml" />
    <block type="marketplace/storeleft" name="rate_bakery" template="marketplace/storesearch/ratebakery.phtml"/>
</reference>

But this new block is getting included after the "left" block. How do I include this new block within the "left" block and not after?

Use Parent Child Tree Structure

<reference name="left">
    <block type="marketplace/storeleft" name="store_left" template="marketplace/storesearch/left.phtml">
        <block type="marketplace/storeleft" name="rate_bakery" template="marketplace/storesearch/ratebakery.phtml"/>
    </block>
</reference>
