If your outline view is set up such that children are descendant items
of their parents, you don't even need to round-trip to the model
layer. You could implement something like the following:

// Warning: typed in Mail, not guaranteed to work

- (NSDragOperation)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView
validateDrop:(id < NSDraggingInfo >)info proposedItem:(id)item
proposedChildIndex:(NSInteger)index
{
  NSArray *draggingItems = ItemsFromDragInfo(info);

  NSMutableSet *parentTree = [[NSMutableSet alloc] init];
  id parentItem = item;
  while (parentItem) {
    [parentTree addObject:item];
    parentItem = [outlineView parentForItem:item];
  }

  NSDragOperation op = NSDragOperationMove;
  for (id item in draggingItems) {
    if ([parentTree containsobject:item]) {
      op = NSDragOperationNone;
      break;
    }
  }

  [parentTree release];
  return op;
}
