Client/external activities (or other activities that cause workflow persistence) are not permitted within the invoked workflow.

In a Workflow:

The Invoke Workflow activity can be used to run another workflow. This may be useful when authoring several workflows that have shared logic. The shared portion can be placed in a single workflow and other workflows can invoke the shared workflow.
