As we all know one can jump between frames using e.g. hyperlinks.
I don't want jump to the end, but include the frames fixed. They should not be additional. E.g. I have the topic cars and make an excursion about motors coming back to cars.
When I added the intermediate "motor" part, I had the problems, that my table of content showed the "car" section twice and the tree view too.
It was possible to fix the ToC with \section*{car}
but not the 'tree view'.
Here an example (what I want to modify are the words in the top row):
\documentclass{beamer}
%using my default theme
\usepackage{beamerthemesplit}
\usetheme{Dresden}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]
\usecolortheme{beaver}
\usefonttheme{professionalfonts}
\useoutertheme{shadow}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Overview}
\tableofcontents
\end{frame}
\section{cars}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{there are so many different cars}
\begin{itemize}
\item Transmissions
\item Motors
\item Drive shafts
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\section{motors}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{and motors are also interesting}
\begin{itemize}
\item big motor
\item small motor
\item tiny motor
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\section*{cars}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{coming back to cars}
\begin{itemize}
\item Cars need fuel
\item Cars are expensive
\item Cars bring us from a to be
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
Is there another command that determines the next frame and forces beamer to "reorder" the document, or jump to the end?
Maybe it is possible to reset the table of content counter?
Thank you for your help,

As you suggested, you can succeed with some counter manipulation. I added a new section 'traffic jam', so that you can see that everything is working as expected.
Here is your modified code, leading to the results shown above:
