I do not know what the whole sentence "must I ... the outer one" is 
talking about. But why don't you go scientific and use concrete 
experiments to find out? Here is a starter:

import Control.Monad.State

main = print answer

answer :: (Bool, Char)
answer = evalState (evalStateT program True) 't'

program :: StateT Bool (State Char) (Bool, Char)
program = do
     bool <- get
     char <- lift get
     return (bool, char)
