If you want to sometimes theme a certain type of node, but othertimes
want to just let the default node theme apply, you can use this
(slightly black magic) snippet in your node-/type/.tpl.php



<?php if ($node->do_special_handling) { ?>


  // custom theming goes here

<?php } else {
  print _phptemplate_callback('node', compact('node', 'title',
'content', 'links', 'page', 'submitted', 'picture', 'terms', 'sticky',
'node_url', 'name', 'date', 'taxonomy', 'main'));
} ?>
