So what about using something like I would call it 'Sub Projects' ?
In your case you will start editing with 'YourProject_middle_section', but 
could work on the 'YourProject_title_section' whenever you want.
And finally there could be another timeline-mode in which user could be able 
to arrange all 'Sub Projects' the same way as arranging movie clips?

Yes, this would be helpful.
