First of all, I write thinking that I have understood it correctly. Sorry if I'm making a different suggestion than you would like, you might not consider it.
Intuitive behavior cannot be performed by actions. It is necessary to give precise commands, precise limits, clear requests and statements. I think that the sequential behavior can be done by writing a special Script instead of Action.
Actions execute existing scripts. There is a problem in the perception of choosing, being eligible, having certain characteristics.

For example,
You cannot make an ACTION to the function Delete layers that have no objects in their content.
But, SCRIPT can be made for this and it is used in Photoshop.
Actions cannot detect if there are pixels or not, they cannot perform an action for it. If SCRIPT is written in the special commands, it can look there at the desired values. SCRIPT can even do this, delete all layers with 48% opacity. But let alone the 49% ones.
This is the situation I am talking about. I think your request can be made with a special SCRIPT.

Nesting is some of the most complex operation you can have. There isn't even a commercial plugin for Illustrator that does it. Let alone a commercial script.
So why do you come to the conclusion that there is a free one or that a stranger on a forum will just write one. And "I need something" has never been an appropriate way to ask someone to give you something.

If you mean "packing" (as in bin packing), then there is none.

I can make one very very fast, but it will only work on perfect squares of same exact size.

if you need nesting for your business, consider paying for a solution.
