    You can allocate posts to categories and create category lists that you can access from your primary navigation menu. See this Codex Article.

    AFAIK the way to do it is to have the posts in 2 categories (the parent and the child). The posts would then show up in the parent category list and the child list.

    You have to have a template that does that. It will contain two loops. One that outputs the category list for one category and the other that output the category list for the other, each putting their output into the appropriate area of the page.

    To output a category list, you use conditional tags and other tools. For example:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts

    You can even set up custom queries. Whatever suits you best, really. Using get_posts() looks like your best bet to me.

    Cheers
