This is to be found in the standard pagelayout.tpl:
{include uri="design:left_menu.tpl"}
It should be possible to set the content object to be displayed by giving it as an argument: {include object=$content_object uri="design:[template_filename]"} So, create node templates for both child nodes and include the above statements (setting the object to display and the template of the parent folder).
However, as all the nodes you spoke about are folders... Other possible solutions would either be to edit the folder full view template (/design/user/override/templates/node/view/full_class_1.tpl, as in the standard folder content type that comes with the demo content) or to create a new content type (maybe called special_folder) and to create new templates for it.
