This type of structure is indeed not possible in a strict outline.
However, inline tasks have been created exactly for the purpose
of working around this restriction.
The idea is to make it possible to define a task right
in the middle of a flow of text. You can actually have some
content in such a container as well:
* a headline item1
general stuff about item1
****************** subitem1
Everything in here belongs to subitem one
****************** END
but here we go on about item one again.
You can achieve a similar structure in org with plain lists:
* a headline item1
general stuff about item1
- subitem1
Everything in here belongs to subitem one
and another line
but here we go on about item one again.
So the structure is right. However, plain list items do not allow
tags, todo states and all that. Inlinetasks are a hack to make
this possible.
Matt: Inline tasks are now always exported, the variable
org-inlinetask-export is obsolete. Export will look like
a description list item - in fact, the export uses internally
description lists.
Hope that this, in connection with all the other answers, will
make it clear.
