I highly recommend reading this: http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html

In particular, if you read this section
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#Projects you will find functions that
tell you if something is a project (i.e., is a task with a subtask).

I guess one could write something like this:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun bh/has-subproject-p ()
  "Any task with a todo keyword subtask that is a project"
  (save-restriction
    (widen)
    (let ((has-subproject)
          (subtree-end (save-excursion (org-end-of-subtree t)))
          (is-a-task (member (nth 2 (org-heading-components)) 
org-todo-keywords-1)))
      (save-excursion
        (forward-line 1)
        (while (and (not has-subproject)
                    (< (point) subtree-end)
                    (re-search-forward "^\*+ " subtree-end t))
          (when (bh/is-project-p)
            (setq has-subproject t))))
      (and is-a-task has-subtask))))
#end_src

then combine "is-project-p" and "has-subproject-p" to decide whether to
include something.
