Except that not even a tiny ping packet can get through.

VPN inside a VPN should certainly work, although its very inefficient.

Sounds more like a routing issue, perhaps a return route is missing?

Perhaps the OP should sniff his tunnel end-point to see what, if
anything, is making its way back.

The OP should also care to include the output of the ping command,
rather than saying "cannot ping the PPTP gateway".
