 * HI everybody,
    I can’t find a solution to this right now and I hope someone can
   help because I’m totally in the myst…
 * Let say I have three categories (A, B, C) listed in a custom menu.
    I also have
   categories X, Y, Z listed in an other custom menu (THOSE CAN’T BE SUB-CATEGORIES).
 * Choosing category ‘A’ sends me to a custom category page where all posts belonging
   to category ‘A’ are displayed (fine).
 * What I can’t figure out:
    While in cat ‘A’, choosing cat ‘X’ should keep me on
   the same custom cat template (‘A’) and display only posts belonging to cat ‘A’
   AND ‘X’.
 * Note 1: Each post belongs to at least to categories. One out of A, B, C AND one
   out of X, Y, Z.
    Note 2: It’s like X, Y, Z were sub-cats but they’re not because
   each post can belongs to any combination of categories (like: B, C, X, Z).
 * Hope someone understand this…
 * Fabrice
