Yes, "type" is what restricts a place, not a subtype. Subtypes are rather hints for newbies of what should go into a place.

There seems to be some confusion between types and roles. Agent and patient (experiencer), tool, observer, are roles, not types. If the sumti filling that place loses the property when removed from that place, then that prooperty is a role, not a type. A type should be intrinsic to the sumti. A number is always a number, a property is always a property, an agent is only an agent when playing that role.

I did that some time in the past but unfortunately I lost the files I worked with. 

I can see that you grouped them into semantic classes.

They are meant to be argument structure classes, not semantic classes, although semantic classes do tend to share structure.
