Vista - trap error in an error

Is there a way to trap an error inside of an error handler?

Here's a short fictional example. In real life I'm trying to log errors and
one of the errors might be I can't connect to the sql server I'm logging to
(I still want the message in the file log though). Also note that while the
file log in this case gets the error message if I switch the order the error
is generated in, I don't get it. (i.e. the file would get the error and SQL
wouldn't, but if I was out of disk space I wouldn't get any log even though I
could have logged to SQL Server).

$logfile = "C:\test.log"

function Generate-Error()
{
&{
&{
1 / $null
}
trap [System.Exception] {
throw $_.Exception.Message + "`nGenerate-Error()"
}
}
}


function Log-Error($msg)
{
&{
&{
$msg | out-file -filePath $logfile
1 / $null
}
trap [System.Exception] {
}
}
}



&{
&{
Generate-Error
}
trap [System.Exception]
{
$list = ($_.Exception.Message + "`nMain()").Split("`n")
$list
Log-Error $list
$host.SetShouldExit(1)
exit 1
}
}

which handling is correct:

1) error X occurs
a) log error X to sql
if error Y occurs logging log X and Y to text file

2) error X occurs
a) log error X to sql
if error ignore
b) log error X to text
if error ignore

3) error X occurs
a) log error X to sql
if error Y occurs log Y to text file
b) log error X to text
if error Y occurs log Y to sql
