   Is it possible to echo the value of a custom panel option within a function?

   For example, if I'm using a query_posts function, can I pass in the values of a custom panel option to the argument of cat?

   Custom Panel Option Values = 1,2,3,4
   query_posts(cat=(echo values here))

   Same idea when using an if statement and in_category(array(echo values here)).

   Thanks!

   Sure, you can do something like:

   // assign the variable as current category
   $categoryvariable = $cat;
   
   // concatenate the query
   $args = 'cat=' . $categoryvariable . '&orderby=date&order=ASC';
   
   // run the query
   query_posts( $args );

   See here for more examples:

   Ah I was trying to echo right within the query posts instead of assigning the arguments as variables first. I'll give that a try thanks!

   Doesn't seem to be working when using in_category(array($cats)).

   I have the following:

   <?php
   $cats = get_option('mycats');
   if (!in_category(array($cats))) { ?>
