Sorry if it wasn't clear.
I should have illustrate this.

Input:

* Headline 1
** Node 1.1
  Content 1
* Headline 2
  Content 2
* Headline 3
  Content 3
* Headline 4
  Content 4
* Headline 5
  Content 5

Desired output:

\intro
\subsection{Node 1.1}
  Content 1
\section{Headline 2}
  Content 2
\section{Headline 3}
  Content 3
\section{Headline 4}
  Content 4
\conclusion
  Content 5

First and fifth top headlines output is replaced. And others are defaults.
All children keep the same.

Have you tried customizing the org-latex-classes variable? I'm not quite
sure what you are trying to do (an example would help), but I don't see
any obstacles.
