can you share the codes/steps for step 1-3?
thanks in advance.

also a bit of off-topic, I ever think of using tmux, so making working
with 2 level of windows probably easier

s1:t11 t12
s2:t21 t22
s3:t31 t32

so assuming c-a is for screen and c-b is for tmux, then:

s1(c-a 0):t11(c-b 0) t12(c-b 1)
s2(c-a 1):t21(c-b 0) t22(c-b 1)
s3(c-a 2):t31(c-b 0) t32(c-b 1)

now we have 2 level windows, 6 sessions total, and not to hard to switch
back & forth, how is it?
