Ok, I undestand. I apologise that my example was too short. I'd like to 
have things more flexible:

If an arbitrary and irregular number of levels is introduced (sections, 
subsections, etc., numbered hierarchically as usual), the topic 
numbering should remain continuous and unaffected
(that's why I thought, a separate definition, as in 
\definehead[topic][...], would be appropriate).

Conceptually, though, "topic" is a section-like subdivision, so, for 
example, should appear in the TOC.

This is typical e.g. in (German) law texts (here with "§" as a topic 
marker but this is not the point), Example:

I. ... "Chapter"
             § 1 ...
    1 ... "Section"
             § 2 ...  Topic in section
      1.1 ... "Subsection"
             § 3 ...  Topic in subsection
             § 4 ...
      1.2  ...
             § 5 ...
    2 ...
             § 6 ...
             § 7 ...
      2.1  ...
             § 8 ...
II. ...
             § 9 ...  Topic in chapter
    1 ...
             § 10 ...
             § 11 ...
      1.1  ...
             § 12 ...

Of course, referencing, entry in TOC, index etc. should be correct.

It would be even more preferable if one could "attach" the topic 
numbering to a specified level, say, chapters. The above example then 
would become:

I. ... "Chapter"
             § 1 ...  Topic in chapter
    1 ... "Section"
             § 2 ...  Topic in section
      1.1 ... "Subsection"
             § 3 ...  Topic in subsection
             § 4 ...
      1.2  ...
             § 5 ...
    2 ...
             § 6 ...
             § 7 ...
      2.1  ...
             § 8 ...
II. ...
             § 1 ...  First topic in second chapter
    1 ...
             § 2
             § 3
      1.1  ...
             § 4  ...


Thank you & sorry for the incomplete first question!
Ulf
