[CSS] Nested layers included into parent page

I've been trying to slowley use my site rebuild as an excuse to learn about new syntax and scripting for site building. Lord know's I've driven theFez crazy with javascript and php questions.

I have a main page that call's it's center element in via ?id=xxx where xxx is the page name being included.
The site is http://www.arch13.com and the image is what's included by defualt.

I've been making a page to serve as a menu for recent work, and decided since it's a simple and sparse page, I'd try my hand at css layout for it. Silly me.

The page is http://www.arch13.com/recent.php and looks great when viewed indivigualy. Not so great when viewed in context. For some reason the nested layers are skewing to the right overlaying the border to the template include area. I have the nested layers inside a layer called wrapper that is supposed to be the outer boundry of this included page. The two layers nested that form the titleblock/masthead and menu.
The page called into the index template is http://www.arch13.com/index.php?id=recent . See what I mean? (note, I'ver been working in Firfox, so I have no idea how it looks in IE yet)

How can I make sure that the titleblock/masthead and menu stay inside the include area?

The relevant css to recent.php is:
Code:
<!--
.recent_wrapper 	{
	width:630px;
	height: 353;
	margin:0px auto;
	text-align:center;
	padding-top:0px;
	border:1px #fff;
	background-color:#eee;
	}
.recent_mast 	{
	width:620px;
	height:25px;
	margin: 0 0 0 0px;
	text-align:left;
	padding:15px;
	border-bottom:2px solid #fff;
	background-color:#5B5B33;
	}
.recent_menu 	{
	width:620px;
	height:40px;
	margin:0px auto;
	text-align:left;
	padding:15px;
	border-top:4px solid #fff;
	background-color:#E6E4C3;
	}

-->
additionally, css doesn't seem to let me nest any layers inside .recent_mast . I wanted to place a titleblock of text inside this layer and position it using css but can't seem to get that right. Does anyone have any pointers or spot anything blatantly wrong about this css work? Edit seem to have figred this out to some degree. Still having overlapping trouble though. Any help or pointers are very much appreciated.
