Thought it'd be useful to share the solution here!
[i]Thanks for quick reply Rounik.
I couldn't find Edit-button. What I did :
1. Created a new section B
2. Duplicated section A (recorded song)
3. Section C (=copy section A) comes after section B
4. Deleted section A
5. Section B comes in front of song (now section C)
6. I recorded intro in section B
Problem: now I can only replay section B, and section A is not following automatically. How can I fix this, and if not, where can I find the song section menu and the "edit"button?

Hi Christian,
A better way would be this:
1. Tap the "+" button in the Timeline to display the Sections drop-down menu. The tap "Add" to create a new blank section.

2. Adjust the length of the new section in bars. Then Tap on the "Song Sections" button (top left)

3. Finally, in the top right of the Song Sections drop-down you'll see the "Edit" button (in image below shows as "Done"). Tap "Edit" and then drag the new section to the top of the list. Finally, tap on "Done" to accept the change!

That should work fine... and you've now added a new empty section to the beginning of your song.
Back in the "Sections" drop-down menu make sure to tap on (choose) "ALL SECTIONS" so that GB plays through your entire song.
Hope this helps.
By the way, I'd really recommend checking out this absolutely awesome video tutorial on using GarageBand for iPad:
