I know it's an old question. I thought I'd share this anyway in case anyone else runs into this (like I did).

At the bottom of your child layout, you define a section with the same name as the section in the parent layout. Inside of this section you simply put a @RenderSection, again specifying the same name as before. Once this is in place, you essentially have the child layout "bypass" content from pages, up to its parent layout:

@section breadcrumbs {
    @RenderSection("breadcrumbs", true)
}
