You can do this manually -- in your date-tree file:

M-x org-agenda RET < a

will produce the agenda view for this file.

Then in this first agenda view, / TAB :class1: will 
filter out entries that don't have the :class1: tag.

Then `E' will show the first lines of each entries,
displaying the .c files.

Of course, you can also build a custom agenda view
which does all this -- see the manual and the tutorials
on http://orgmode.org/worg/.

HTH,
