This is a fundamental problem, for which there are only work-arounds,
no solutions.  Because of the structure of an outline, there is no such
thing as a "location between sections".  So just like Bastien describes,
I also use work-arounds for this.  Two come to mind.

1. Bastiens proposal, i.e. placing the parameter lines after the 
top-level
heading.  This works as long as the top-level heading itself is never
pointed to by an agenda entry (the category would be wrong) and as long 
as
you neve atempt to archive the top-level heading itself.

2. If (1) is not good enough, the only way I see is to insert a
   "parameter section", like this:


,----
| * Head1
|   * Done Task
|
| * Params for the next file section
| #+CATEGORY: CR
| #+ARCHIVE: %s_archive::* CR
|
| * CR
|   * anything
`----

You could add an ARCHIVE tag to the parameter section, to keep it from 
opening.
