I'm trying to create a new category archive display that shows posts hierarchically (basically only have posts show up in the original category selected, not all the levels above). If I click on a top level category page I want to see:
Top Level Category
- Posts only in top level
Subcat 1
- Posts only in Subcat 1 (though if they're cross posted with another category in the same level of hierarchy, I want them to show up there as well)
- Post in Subcat 1, Subcat 2
Subcat 1 subcat
- Posts only in subcat 1 subcat
Subcat 2
- Posts only in subcat
- Posts in subcat 1, subcat 2
(Note: These should also tab in at the appropriate levels to help visually indicate a difference, but I can't seem to make it do it here)
Does that make sense? I only want to see duplicate posts if a post is categorized into 2 categories, but I want things to display in a hierarchical manner.

In looking around more and thinking about this further it's like I need to have an archive page that recursively shows all category archives for parent & child categories, and also uses a function to remove child posts from parent categories.
I've found a function that will remove the child posts - now I just need to figure out how to show all the subcategory sections - can someone point me in the right direction?

<?php wp_list_categories('title_li='); ?>
Or you could take a look at the Codex:

I've looked at that. The trick is that I want it to display the posts from first the parent category, then (on the same page, just formatted to indicated they're subtopics) the children posts.
I'm sure it's that I need to have multiple loops, I'm just not sure how to phrase them.
