SUMMARY
It is permitted to immerse one utensil inside another for the purpose of using it for Terumah, but for Kodesh it is not valid because of the concern that the inside utensil may weigh down on the outside one and cause a Chatzitzah, according to Rebbi Ila.
A garment of Kodesh must be untied and dried out before immersion in the Mikvah, because of the possibility of a Chatzitzah.
Both the Reisha and the Seifa of the Mishnah involved a problem of Chatzitzah, but both cases are needed. (1)
Rebbi Ila is consistent with his own reasoning when he says that the Mishnah mentions ten Ma'alos that apply to Kodesh but not to Terumah. (2)
The first five Ma'alos apply to both Kodesh and Chulin that are eaten b'Taharas ha'Kodesh, while the last five Ma'alos apply only to Kodesh. (3)
Rava says that the prohibition of immersing one utensil inside another for Kodesh is because of the concern that one might immerse needles inside a utensil that has an opening smaller than the tube of a leather flask. (4)
A BIT MORE
1. If the Mishnah had mentioned only the first case regarding immersing one utensil inside another, we would have thought that we are stringent only in that case, because the weight of the inside utensil causes a Chatzitzah. If the Mishnah had mentioned only the second case regarding untying and drying out a garment of Kodesh prior to its immersion, we would have thought that we are stringent only in that case, because a knot becomes tighter in the water and may be a Chatzitzah. However, in the case of immersing one utensil inside the other, there is no possibility of Chatzitzah because the water lifts up the inside utensil. Therefore, the Mishnah needs to teach both cases.
2. The Mishnah actually mentions eleven Ma'alos. However, the two that concern Chatzitzah are regarded as the same Ma'alah.
3. The first five Ma'alos apply to both Kodesh and Chulin that are eaten b'Taharas ha'Kodesh, because they are related to Tum'ah d'Oraisa. The last five Ma'alos apply only to Kodesh, because they are not related to Tum'ah d'Oraisa.
4. If the opening is very small, the immersion of the needles would not be valid.

BRIEF INSIGHT
The Mishnah says that a garment of Kodesh must be untied and dried out before immersion in the Mikvah. The Gemara explains that the knot may cause a Chatzitzah. This explains why it must be untied prior to immersion. Why, though, does it need to be dried out? Rashi (on the Mishnah) says that it must be dried out before immersion also because of the possibility of a Chatzitzah. Rashi's intent is not that the water itself is Chotzetz, but that there may be some dirt on the garment that clings to the garment only while it is damp, but when the garment is dried out the dirt detaches from it.
