JIRA query to check if a parent issue has specific sub-tasks

Question

We have a requirement to audit our JIRA's to ensure that each JIRA has specific subtasks.

We need to make sure that JIRA's have the exactly the following structure:

Parent
-subtask type 1
-subtask type 2
-subtask type 3

I've tried to use the CraftForge plugin but I'm not sure exactly how to make the query work. I guess I need something like:

issue in parentIssuesFromQuery(
  issuetype in subTaskIssueTypes() 
  and (
     issuetype = 'subtask type 1' and 
     issuetype = 'subtask type 2' and
     issuetype = 'subtask type 3'
   )
)

but clearly that won't return any results. Any idea how this could be done?

Ok, so I worked it out. I needed to do several queries:

 not (
   (issue in parentIssuesFromQuery("issuetype in subTaskIssueTypes() AND 
      issuetype = 'subtask type 1'")) and 
   (issue in parentIssuesFromQuery("issuetype in subTaskIssueTypes() AND 
      issuetype = 'subtask type 2'")) and 
   (issue in parentIssuesFromQuery("issuetype in subTaskIssueTypes() AND 
      issuetype = 'subtask type 3'"))
 )

This is very slow though it works. Would be grateful for any advice on how to do this more efficiently.
