Error when compositeSearchHeight is higher than a excludeMe == true

If a subproject sets compositeSearchHeight = 2, but it's parent project has excludeFromCompositeBuild = true, the project essentially fails to include itself, resulting in an unintelligible error.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
