Maybe it's me, but I have a hard time understanding what you want to do.

It might be more clear to speak of branches (= a given node and its 
descendants) rather than nodes "containing clones".

If you clone a node that has descendants, it looks like you've only cloned 
the one node (i.e. only the "top node" of that branch has the clone 
indicator in the icon. Functionally, you've cloned the whole branch - all 
of those nodes are in fact the exact same as their instances in the other 
locations, and you can confirm this with "goto-next-clone" (which I have 
mapped to Alt-N, not sure if this is default or not).

If you want a lower-level node to have a different (non-clone) parent, you 
can either manually create one or copy and regular-paste (not retain-clone) 
the appropriate node, and then do a clone of the target lower-level node 
under the new non-clone parent.

If you want a cloned parent to have different children under its different 
locations/instances, that is not possible in Leo and AFAIK from past 
threads here will never be possible, as it just doesn't make sense within 
Leo's data model - the two instances of a cloned node actually represent 
*the same exact node* including its relationships to its children. (of 
course if I've interpreted things wrongly I hope those more knowledgeable 
than me will step in and correct).

Hope this helps - if not, perhaps an example of what you're trying to do 
would help us understand your question better.
