Answers.Text: Thanks Jon, but for us it creates more trouble than it solves, especially because it would add much complexity to the already heavy definition of ACLs.
  Anyway I guess if it has not been able to respond to an issue like this is partly due to the complexity involved in developing a solution for this.

  <p>Managing ACLs is really heavy and is very inefficient to have to grant and maintain permissions one to one to a set of groups that in fact hang from a parent group.</p>

Comments.Text: I've just found that this is still (4.7.24) the case: If you assign an ACL Role access to contacts in a parent group it will not apply to contacts in the child group. Would be a very helpful feature!

  I've encountered the same problem - and solved it by implementing a multi-site configuration and installing the [Multisite Permissioning extension](https://civicrm.org/extensions/multisite-permissioning).
  
  This may not be appropriate for your setting, it may create more trouble than it solves, but in our case it was very helpful.
