Here is a fragment of something I am engraving.

The D following the \afterGrace is slurred up to the C at the beginning of the following bar.

I would also like the "{ cis32 d }" grace notes to be slurred, but if I put "{ cis32( d) }", I get a "Warning: already have slur".

Is there a way to get a "slur within a slur"?

When we ask for a MWE, the "w" stands for "working".  That is, you should be able to copy and paste the LilyPond source and get it to engrave.  You can't do that with your code, thus David Kastrup's reply.  

So here is a MWE for you this time:

\version "2.24.3"

\relative {
  \time 3/8
  \key g \major
  e''16( dis e ais, b g |
  e8) r \afterGrace d'!(\trill { cis32 d }  |
  c'!16) b^. a^. g^. fis^. e^. |
}

What you probably want is a "phrasing slur", which you get by writing \( \).  So:

\version "2.24.3"

\relative {
  \time 3/8
  \key g \major
  e''16( dis e ais, b g |
  e8) r \afterGrace d'!\(\trill { cis32( d) }  |
  c'!16\) b^. a^. g^. fis^. e^. |
}
