In my Emacs, when > I try to issue a command which needs minibuffer while I'm in > a minibuffer, I get the message "Command attempted to use minibuffer > while in minibuffer". You can do (setq enable-recursive-minibuffers t), to see the effect. More likely, it can be bound to non-nil by a command. For example, if a command that uses the minibuffer wants to let you use a key that is bound to another command that uses the minibuffer, then the first command can bind `enable-recursive-minibuffers' to `t'.
