Hi Andreas,

When doing something this complex you may just want to write your own
function which could say... take a subtree ID and a boolean flag as
arguments and then set the export flag on that subtree as appropriate.

The org-id-goto and org-toggle-comment functions may help in
implementing this function.

Best,
