We have already obtained an invariant characterization and classification of the Szekeres inhomogeneous cosmological models. In the present paper, we present a detailed study of the hierarchy of solutions. The approach adopted suggests simple generalizations of the Szekeres models, and we present a number of results and ideas for further study.
