It seems that the reason this does not work for Chris Malone is that if the 
heading tagged with :prelim: is preceded with a heading tagged with :noexport: 
then the content of the prelim section is in effect not exported. 

For this example

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* My setup                                                         :noexport:
  Some org-mode setup commands that should not be exported
* Preliminary material                                               :prelim:

Some preliminary material

* Point one

Text in point one

* Point two                                                          :prelim:

Text in point two.

* Point three

Text in point three.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The following is exported

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Table of Contents

1 Point one
2 Point three
1 Point one

Text in point one

Text in point two.

2 Point three

Text in point three.

Note the absence of the text before the table of contents.

Hope this clears it up
