I also came to the same problem with nested families and family type parameter, when i created an all in one family.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I did the same workaround that @Anonymous  described above. Yeah it works, but its not really intuitive, because the family type parameter is named by the name follwed by category (i.e. Doorframe <Doors>). So with those other categories as nested families, it could get confusing for someone who doesn't know much about families, when in the properties tab
the parmeter is named, i.e. Doorhandle <sprinklers>. I work in a small architecture office, but i could imagine that it also becomes a problem in bigger offices, where architects, structural engineers and technical engenieers work together on one project. Because then those categories are used.
 
It would be nice and i guess not a very big deal, if the family type parameter depends on the Subcategory, which you can already choose within the families to control the view of the element. So that if it is the main category (i.e. Doors) it will show ALL subcategory families and if it is a subcategory (i.e. Doorframe) only the families with that subcategory are displayed in the dropdown list.
