playa refering to another playa

Question

Ok, let's see if I can explain this question, I have a channel with a playa field which refers to channel which has other playa fields in it that I want to display on the given page. How do call the other playa field? on that playa selections channel since just calling them doesn't work of course.

I get about this far, but don't know the next step?

{exp:playa:children field="FROM CHANNEL A"}
    {title}
{/exp:playa:children}

EDIT

Hi Lisa, Thanks for responding I am somewhat new to playa and even to EE itself lets see if I can explain this better.

I have a channel called "data_entry" with a playa list {location_source} the items on the list refer to another channel called "locations" which contains another playa field called {second_order_location} that I want to display right before the {title} of the first playa list. Does that make sense?

{exp:playa:children field="location_source"}
    {if first_order_location_parent}{first_order_location},{/if} 
    {title}
{/exp:playa:children} 

EDIT I wrote

     {exp:playa:children channel="data_entry" var_prefix="data_entry"}
        {data_entry:exp:playa:children channel="nwt_locations" var_prefix="first_order_location_parent"}
            {data_entry:title} - {first_order_location_parent:title}
        {/data_entry:exp:playa:children} 
      {/exp:playa:children}

All I get is the same as if I wrote {title} am I missing something? I am not sure what to do about the parameters. Thanks So much for time

Edited answer based on the OP edited answer :)

 {exp:channel:entries channel="news"}
    <h3>Article Media</h3>
    <ul>
        {exp:playa:children channel="news" var_prefix="news"}
            {news:exp:playa:children channel="editors" var_prefix="editor"}
                {news:title} - {editor:title}
            {/news:exp:playa:children}
    {/exp:playa:children}
    </ul>
{/exp:channel:entries}

This is directly from the example for var_prefix here:

http://docs.pixelandtonic.com/playa/templating/module/children.html

You'll need to update your channel= parameters, and if you want to change the var prefixes, make sure you change them wherever they're referenced. Does that help?
