An property (or field) of a named class can't have an anonymous type, because such a type can't be referred to in code. However, an anonymous type can contain properties of anonymous type:

var myObj = new
{
    Foo = new { Name = "Joe", Age = 20 }
};

But such a construct has no practical use outside the local scope...
