Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
The text structure is more complex. The document uses sections as
second-level chapters. I mean, they have a page break before.
It is a huge book, divided in parts, which contains units. Each unit
contains the standard explanation, different explanation approaches, and
other additional information in some units.
Each unit is a chapter. The explanation, the exercise sets and the
additional material are a section each. And both chapters and sections
need to be numbered as page/lastpage (for each).

It is clear to me now what makes it works.
Now I have to adapt this to the huge document.
Many thanks for your help again,
