In the last few months I realised it is rather difficult with export
of org files if you deviate from the "everything is an outline
paradigm". The only effective way around the problem seems to be
including from separate files, either org or tex files (for latex
export).

For example for my appendix and bibliography I use the following:

#+INCLUDE: thesis-appendix.org :minlevel 1

\backmatter
\newpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bibname}

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{master}

where thesis-appendix.org looks something like:

\appendix
\appendixpage
\addappheadtotoc

* First appendix

* Second appendix

I wish there was a cleaner solution too. :-/
