Tag Library Help

I am attempting to define a tag library in which a parent tag contains up to 4 different types of child tags, and those child tags may or may not display their contents based on certain conditions.

To start, I created the parent tag and one child tag. All the parent tag does for doStartTag() is return EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE, all the child tag does is return SKIP_BODY.

If I nest the child tag inside the parent tag, the body contents are displayed. If I place it on its own, then the contents are not. What am I missing that's painfully obvious here?

Thanks in advance for your help, and please let me know if I need to give more information.
