It's interesting that there's a separate list for files and subdirectories (and no symlinks, device files, ...), instead of a single list of "named children" with all the possible types as subclasses thereof. In essence, you have to make all the calling locations aware of all the types instead of trying to have them (mostly) oblivious to that.

My remark is simple - I see it's a bit complex.
May be some short description can clarify your intent that made you to design this diagram?
