Is it important that your two headlines in the boxed content export as <h2>?

If not, you could just use a structure like

* Parent
** Box
*** Boxed Child 1
*** Boxed Child 2
** Unboxed Child

and use something like the ignoreheading filter (see Worg's "Org Hacks"
page) to prevent "Box" from producing a separate header, and maybe
various properties (e.g. UNNUMBERED?) to keep the boxed children from
appearing as part of the main outline. 

Otherwise, #+INCLUDE comes to mind as a possible solution.

Would one of those options work for you?
