I will try and make it a little more clear as I just read that back and i havent made myself clear
For a specific search, domain.com might be the best site, it has multiple pages of equal importance that appear on the same page. Google will take the second page, drag it way up to the top and indent it placing it directly below the top ranking page on your site.
EG. you rank 3 & 10, but google will position 10 directly below 4, but indented.
Time was that google would display subdomains also, but now it is saying that 'at the time' filtering treats any kind of attachement to a domain as being part of the domain.
You can get multiple listings though once you become an authority on a search term. eg.
welsh rugby forum - Google Search
You will see here that my rugby forum is shown as the authority site, it lists the various sections of it, but directly below it, independently of the authority links, the welsh rugby forum' area of the board appears again, even though it is listed in the authority listing.
