You could use the SpatialFilter ​@nicole.mcstay 
You could compare the border lines with themselves for selfintersection, beside this you can compare the areas with the border lines.

The underlying lines part is not completely clear to me. In case this is from the border lines itself, there is potentially self overlapping lines. Better would be to dissolve these lines as much as possible. In case there is a separate lines dataset you can both use both line datasets as Candidates and Filter for both input ports.

Example how you could use the SpatialFilter:
