There are two changes you need to do:

 * a <box> tag (NSBox) can contain a single object.  If you want more  
objects in it, stacked vertically,
    you need to use a <vbox> inside it.  So, in your case, instead of  
<box><grid>...</grid><grid>...</grid></box>
    you need to use <box><vbox><grid>...</grid><grid>...</grid></ 
vbox></box>

 * in your second <grid> object, the <gridRow> tags are missing ;-)

With these two changes, it works for me.  If your grid_1 and grid_2  
need to have the objects in them aligned
between them, you may want to use a single grid though.   But it's up  
to you - maybe two grids work best for you.

You can have as many grids as you want, either separate or nested.
