 the catstructure in WP is well known i think:
 {{{
 Parent1
  - Child1A
  - Child1B
 Parent2
  - Child2A
  - - Child2A1
  - - CHild2A2
 }}}
 and so on.
 if Parent2 is chosen with list_cats() you get also all the Children2XX.
 there is no logic in this from users perspective (if i call Matt, i don't
 wont to speak to his 12 children! sorry Matt).

 my suggestion is; create 3 entities.
 {{{
 first entity = ThisCat     (the current category and show all posts)
 second      = ParentCat  (should be turned ON or OFF, shows posts in the
 ParentCat YES or NO)
 third         = ChildCat    (should be turned ON or OFF, shows posts in
 the ChildCat YES or NO)
 }}}
