So we went downtown and saw Inception the other day, and aside from being very well done from a script and cinematic viewpoint, it was one of the most complex movies I've ever seen. A mix of Nolan's Momento and Batman Begins, with a dash of The Matrix and Mulholland Drive. Maybe even a little of DiCaprio's last movie, Shutter Island.
In order to try to make some sense of it after the first viewing, I pulled my own perceptions and some of others off the web to create a structural chart outlining the opening and final scenes, as well as one scene in the middle that was a bit cryptic.
Let me know if there's anything to be added, changed, or taken away. Enjoy...

All seems correct except your final assumption. It is not that they go into deeper limbo but rather that they both come out to the first layer of the dream, that Cobb has never been able to convince himself isn't real and that Mal was finally able to escape from wih a leap of faith... And also in which the kids haven't aged/wear same clothing, top spins and Cobb is being chased by a group of projections named Cobal (Cobb and Mal's protection)
Meaning, push down the chart one level - Mal's dream?
Thanks for the insight, yeah that last part was the most confusing to me.
