Something along these lines might work (needs to be modified for sub-lists of
different lengths, containing different symbols, etc.):
In[987]:= mylist = {{a, b, c}, {a, c, b}, {b, a, c}, {b, c, a}, {c,
a, b}, {c, b, a}}
Out[987]= {{a, b, c}, {a, c, b}, {b, a, c}, {b, c, a}, {c, a, b}, {c,
b, a}}
In[998]:= (MatchQ[#1, {a, _, b}] ||
MatchQ[#1, {b, _, a}] & ) /@ mylist
Out[998]= {False, True, False, True, False, False}
In[999]:= Pick[mylist, %]
Out[999]= {{a, c, b}, {b, c, a}}
Hope that helps!
