   Ok

   I am using this in a custom page template called "Episodes"

   Ok here are requirements

   First one is custom post type "Performance" I call posts via

   query_posts( 'post_type=performance&meta_key=episode&meta_value=1' );

   Next one is episode

   I call posts via

   query_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'episode') );

   Episodes will have full episode videos while performance post type will have individual videos from that particular episode

   so to chain them together i have used a custom field called "episode"

   so what i want now is

   main loop episode and within that another loop for performance

   what i did is

   <?php
     query_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'episode') );
     if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   ?>
   
    <?php $my_meta = get_post_meta($post->ID,'_my_meta',TRUE); ?>
   <h1>Episode :<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'episode', true) ?></h1>
   <h2><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'season', true) ?></h2><Br /><br />
   <?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyeleven' ) ); ?>
   
     query_posts( 'post_type=performance&meta_key=episode&meta_value=1' );
     if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   ?>
   
   <li><?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyeleven' ) ); ?></li>
   
   <?php endwhile; endif; 
   
   <?php endwhile; endif;  ?>

   But it gave me nested loops.. it just keep loading..

   here is my desired layout

   [1] Episode 1 - [custom field assigned "episode" as value of "1"]
   [2] 4 Performances - [custom field assigned "episode" as value of "1"]

   so in output on page should be like this

   [ EPISODE 1 ]

   [PERFORMANCE 1] [PERFORMANCE 2] [PERFORMANCE 3] [PERFORMANCE 4]

   Help

   multiple loops http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

   try and use WP_Query() for the inner loop http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

   Thanks Alchymyth... it worked

   here is final code for other people

   <?php
     query_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'episode') );
     if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   ?>
   
    <?php $my_meta = get_post_meta($post->ID,'_my_meta',TRUE); ?>
   <h1>Episode :<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'episode', true) ?></h1>
   <h2><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'season', true) ?></h2><Br /><br />
   <?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyeleven' ) ); ?>
   
   <?php endwhile; endif;  ?>
   
   <?php
     $query = new WP_Query( array ( 'post_type' => 'performance', 'meta_key' => 'episode', 'meta_value' => '1' ) );
   while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
   ?>
   
   <li><?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyeleven' ) ); ?></li>
   
   <?php endwhile;   ?>
