- I had a chat with ricardo about this, and, to be honest, currently I don't
understand why this is nessessary. You could  - have more than one menue on
the page with different entry points. Maybe you could provide a example, of
what you want to - archive.
I was not able to find any way to do this. I searched the forums etcetera.
It is possible to have more menu's with different categoryID. That is
correct. 
But there is no way (we did not find it) to dynamicly connect menu2 to the
choosen (sub)category of menu1. Just what entrylevel would do.

- We should separate between menues and contents, since these are handled
different. So, you want to use it for a menue?

Yes, I am only talking about menu's in this feauture. I want this
"bottom-up" menu to show in menu2 ALLEWAYS the 1, 2 or 3 categories above
the product. 
Meanwhile the menu1 (rootlevelorientated) could have 1, 2, 3 etc levels. So
independent if menu1 has active category on level 1, 2, 3, etc. 

Hope this explains a bit.
