I ended up making another mixin that uses the "div inside a div", too, see this gist. It's mostly based on this one and something I saw on StackOverflow.
Thanks for the link, playing with Compass again for these gists (and seeing some of the cool things that are possible with CSS in a modern browser) has sparked my interest in design.. so I'll probably be referring to that site quite a bit.
