If I understood correctly, you are asking about how to include another widgets within your custom widget. If that's the case, then we have to modify OammieR's answer a bit, as it's not complete in regards to your question. To include other widgets within your custom widget, you should include them in your widget declaration:

dojo.provide("gissoft.dijit.widgetOam"); 

dojo.require("dijit.form.Button"); //<- this the standard widget you want to have in your widget
dojo.require("dojo.parser");
dojo.require("dijit._Widget");
dojo.require("dijit._Templated");

dojo.declare("gissoft.dijit.widgetOam", [dijit._Widget, dijit._Templated], {
    widgetsInTemplate: true,
    basePath: dojo.moduleUrl("gissoft.dijit"),
    templatePath: dojo.moduleUrl("gissoft.dijit", "templates/widgetOam.html"),

particularly important is the "widgetsInTemplate: true" part which tells the parser to expect the widgets inside the widget.

Then you just include the HTML markup for the particular widget you'd like to include in your widget's template.

 
    Yo!

dojoAttachPoint is useful so you can get a reference to this widget straightaway in your widget's implementation without getting a reference via dijit.byId('').

Hope this helps.
