I don't believe in starting a thread and then becoming a "ghost" so i will thank everyone for their input.
I was mainly curious if anyone in setting up the action of a classical took the string gauges into account as they do not progressively get smaller like steel string.
But as far as the stream of conversation, I think steel strings have small variances in nut action so classicals and obviously flamencos would to. And by variances I mean thousandths of an inch.
Also I don't speak for anyone, but i don't see the positives of gluing in a nut, unless it enhances the bond/sound of the bone to wood. Like the previous poster stated, the tension of the strings is enough to keep in place.
Only in basses have i found the tension works against holding the nut in place.
