Mailman treats sublists as just regular email addresses.

There is a patch at
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1220144&group_id=103&atid=300103>
which allows you to put for example, @Y and @Z in list X's
accept_these_nonmembers. This will do what you want, although you may
also need to put @Y in Z's accept_these_nonmembers and vice versa.

This feature is in the base for Mailman 2.1.10 (now in beta).
