Yes, Diaco is exactly right. Using the position parameter with add() you can place your nested timelines wherever you want.

 

The align special property of a TimelineLite/Max ONLY applies to tweens that are passed into the timeline's constructor's tweens special property like so

 

var red = TweenLite.to("#redBox", 1, {x:550}),
    blue = TweenLite.to("#blueBox", 1, {x:550}),
    tl;


tl = new TimelineLite({
  tweens:[red, blue],
  align:"sequence" 
});

Ok, sorry to be a further pain. So the position parameter sort of helped, let me just explain what I'm trying to do (I've also updated the codepen to illustrate the problem):

 

I have the main timeline `parentTimeline` and I want the child timelines (in this case `childTimeline1`) to run in parallel once they've been activated by the parent timeline, so:

parentTimeline: 0-----1-----2-----N-----...
childTimeline1:      \0-----1-----2-----N-----....

So essentially the child timelines have a duration of 0 and are only triggered by the parent timeline, but the parent timeline doesn't wait for them. I hope that makes sense.
