You cannot nest a PARFOR directly in the text of another PARFOR; you can
call a function from within a PARFOR that calls PARFOR - but that
doesn't get you any additional parallelism. (The aim here is that you
can write a PARFOR loop in your function without having to worry about
whether your caller has already started a PARFOR loop). We always
currently use all workers for the outermost PARFOR loop.

You do need to explicitly open the matlabpool each time you launch
MATLAB. Note that there's also "matlabpool('size')" which can tell you
if matlabpool is already open.
