I have a few Pages set up, since the content is fairly static. Let's say a Page has 1 category with multiple posts related to that topic. How can I associate categories to a certain page? For instance if I'm on page B, I need a link to posts 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the X category. Page C would need the same for posts in the Y category.
Is there a way to associate a Page with a category? Or is there an if/then statement appropriate?
Many thanks -- I've been searching but think my phrasings must be not quite right to find answers.

I don't know if something has been changed recently but normally Pages are not related to categories, in other words: Pages don't have categories.
Perhaps I'm thinking all backwards --
how might I have links to posts in 1 particular category, but only from 1 particular Page?
Page A shows links (category apples) posts macintosh, gala, etc.
Page B shows links (category baking) posts pies, cobblers, etc.
Is it possible to have the loop show something like this:
-if page=id9, show posts in category2
I've seen an if is=home statement -- does that work for any page?
(having a hard time making sense of the documentation. help greatly appreciated!)
I found this, seems to work.
<?php if ( is_category('2') ) : ?>
<?php endif ; ?>
I'm putting in this in for future reference -- for myself and others who might search with similar terms.
darn something happened. here it is again:
<?php if ( is_category('2') ) : ?>
<ul>
<?php
$posts = get_posts('category=2');
foreach($posts as $post) :
?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php endif ; ?>
