Submenus with other sub-submenus don't show up...?

Hello there... As soon as you read the title, you're probably a bit confused about what my actual problem is. So I'll explain it very detailed.
I'm trying to make a submenu in the applications menu. In this submenu I want to have another submenu with the files in it. I already wrote the menu and the directories. But my problem is that the submenu with the submenu doesn't show up without at least one file being in it alone. I want it to be like this:
Applications menu
Security > Firewall > (Files)
But without a file being in the "Security" category alone, nothing will show up. So I have to do it like this:
Security > Firewall > (Files)
               (One file)

Here are my scripts:
(Everything else in the menu script)
<Menu>
        <Name>Security</Name>
        <Directory>security.directory</Directory>
        <Include>
                     <Category>Security</Category>
        </Include>

<Menu>
        <Name>Firewall</Name>
        <Directory>firewall.directory</Directory>
        <Include>
                     <Category>Firewall</Category>
        </Include>
</Menu>
</Menu>

My directories look like this:
Name=Security
Icon=Security.png
Type=Directory
Categories=X-Xfce-Toplevel

Name=Firewall
Icon=Firewall.png
Type=Directory
Categories=Security

This issue is really annoying and I couldn't find anything to this topic on the internet. Here are the infos about my system:
Xfce Version 4.12, Debian 8 Jessie

I hope that someone can help me with this cause I'm really getting crazy with that...
