I'm trying to get my Category Template to be able to not only show the posts from that category, but to also show a single post from the 'featured' category as well. But it's not just any post from the featured category, it's the most recent post that happens to be in both the featured category and the category the page is on. Does that make sense? Here's my code for the single (Featured + Category) post:

I'm not real great with php, and I keep getting serrors that I'm missing a bracket, but I can't see where. Any help? :)

try to put all arguments into the array; for instance:
$news =array(
'category__and' => array(47,3),
'posts_per_page' => 1
);
$my_query = new WP_Query($news);
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();

I fixed the code but I still get a "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in .../wp-content/themes/travelertheme/category.php on line 34" error.
Can we have the full code on the category template?

Try it with this: http://wordpress.pastebin.com/nR1sh4VG
I think it needs an endif; before the '}' and thats why it doesn't work
as far as i know, you can't interrupt a 'while'-loop with a closing bracket of an unrelated conditional statement.
the line while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); is common to all queries and need only be inserted once, at the start of the actual loop.
all conditional statements to set the arguments and the query should imho be processed before the start of the loop.
also inserted a 'wp_reset_query();' before the second loop, to bring the query back to the original category posts.
for instance:

Thank you very much, everyone! The code Alchymyth wrote works like a charm.
