Would this work? 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 * Main headline
   Some thoughts expressed here

 ** Subheading 1
    More thoughts expressed here
 ** Subheading 2
    More thoughts expressed here
 ** Main headline (cont.)

  I would like to have this text part of 'Main headline', not of
  'Subheading 2'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Org-mode's assumptions about sections are the same as those found in
outlines in general or in books or articles -- i.e., a section is
terminated only another section.

For nested sections you could always use xml to write your papers. ;)

Apart from the hack above, I would recommend inline tasks.

 **************** Subheading 1

 **************** END
