   I know how to display last posts for one specific cat, using:

   <?php
   
   // The Query
   query_posts( 'cat=3' );
   
   // The Loop
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
   <h2><?php the_time('l j F Y') ?></h2>
   <?php the_content('Lire la suite &raquo;'); ?>
   
   <?php endwhile;
   
   // Reset Query
   wp_reset_query();
   
   ?>

   But I did not find the way to display last x (4 for ex.) posts from different categories (for ex cat 2, 3 & 7). I want those posts to be displayed from the most recent one to the oldest one (of the 4).

   I read this page but a bit messy for the beginner I am:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts

   Any help would be higly appreciated!

   Here is now what I have in my query now, it displays 4 last posts from cat3:

   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts('cat=3&posts_per_page=4&paged=' . $paged);

   But still having troubles to display 4 last posts of my website, post can come from different categories: I want to name them (for ex: cant 2, 3 & 7).

   So I want to display 4 posts in total, from the new one to the oldest one (each of those 4 posts can come from one of those cat).

   For all the parameters used by query_posts read this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query
   

   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts('cat=2,3,7&posts_per_page=4&paged=' . $paged);
