Not with a released version. But with the development there is "Diagram As 
Object" accessible from the Misc sheet. I allows to render a diagram within 
a box in another diagram.
See: 
https://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/commit/?id=fbe3937bb67c0cb450f54f44ed176e8a90bfcd27
for the initial commit.

That would - from my understanding - be a different feature, but it is also 
implemented with the development version:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/commit/?id=9f855a3ee4f0310f2e7f0109a3bc483c450bb0a2

Although current master is not production quality it should be stable 
enough to give it a try. If not, please don't hesitate to report open issues.

Thanks,
