ExpressionEngine true nested URI's with Switchee, URL Helper & GW Has Children
// The key here is to use {all_segments} & {last_segment_category_url_title} from Litzinger's URL Helper extension.
// I fork'd it and added the {last_segment_category_url} to determine if the last segment is a cat or not.
// If {last_segment_category_url} is a category, it will parse and the case will run, if not, it defaults to single entry template
// {all_segments} variable is great b/c it's dynamically builds the rule, rather than a fixed variable="{seg_1}/{seg_2}/{seg_3}/{seg_4}"
// Controller Template.
