are you talking about frontend or backend?
and how did you decide to use or not use 3 images at top and bottom?
it is possible to use first 3_image at top and again later.
but as far as i know it would only work if you fill your own array/variable pool instead of echo it inside the while loop. and echo later from this filled array/variable.
or if you use 2 times the same while loop with different if loops inside
the one for top only with get_row_layout 3_images and a count that allows only 1 loop. and the normal while loop
