A use-case is the admin directory in the KDE repository. It has:

KDE (superproject)
 +- kdelibs (subproject)
 |   +- admin (subproject)
 |   +- subdir1
 |   +- ...
 +- kdebase (subproject)
 |   +- admin (subproject)
 |   +- subdir2
 |   +- ...
 +- kdenetwork (subproject)
 |   +- admin (subproject)
 |   +- subdir3
 |   +- ...
 ...
