If you profile using the SP::Starting event, you can see all the stored procedures that are executed. You want to make sure to get a couple of the profile columns included:
NestLevel – This shows the nesting level of SPs calling each other – so if Test calls EmbeddedTest then the SP::Starting event for Test wil show NestLevel=1 and the event for EmbeddedTest will show NestLevel=2
ObjectName – This shows the name of the stored procedure being executed
SPID – Session ID for the connection
So to find a calling sequence you need to look for an event with NestLevel greater then 1 and then look for the NestLevel=1 on the same SPID that preceeded the call. Of course this works for deeper nesting levels as well.
