I don't understand the usecase, that's why I wasn't really following. If
you write \vspace{10cm} before some headline, it's going to do the right
thing even if it "belongs" to a previous headline.

If org-latex-classes is not a good enough solution I also think it should
be a general export feature, not specific to latex. In that case you
need a general syntax, e.g. properties like "export_prefix",
"export_postfix" and the code should be as simple as possible, i.e.
copying the text one line before/after the headline.
