I’ve seen the question Loading a module in another module in Joomla, but that was about Joomla 1.5
I have exactly the same question about Joomla 2.5
Is there an official way to do so?

I’ve seen the question Loading a module in another module in Joomla, but that was about Joomla 1.5
I have exactly the same question about Joomla 2.5
Is there an official way to do so?
If you’re using a "Custom HTML" module the standard
{loadposition myPosition}or{loadmodule myModuleTypesName}work as expected.Did you mean something else?
I’ve updated the wiki article with the following information as well.
loadmodule
An alternative to "{loadposition xx}" is the "{loadmodule yyy}" variation which is handled by the same plugin.
In this case the plugin looks for the first module that who’s type matches the string ‘yyy’. So, you could load a "mod_login" module by placing {loadmodule login} in your text.
Modules within Modules
It is possible in Joomla! 2.5+ (possibly earlier) to include a module within a "Custom HTML" module as they are processed by content plugins in the same way as articles.
You should remember when doing this that you may experience formatting issues as the "chrome" of the "Custom HTML" module will surround the "chrome" of the included module potential having undesirable effects of the formatting or layout.
