hm, ok...but i have to import more XMLs at a time. one which creates the 
categories, each having his own unique ID in the XML. This could create 
the pages. Then the coursedata, in the XML already having the parent-id 
of the categories. It would be easy to import them as records then with 
the appropriate pid of the category and no other hacks are needed to 
make it work. this seems to me to be the most logical approach. all my 
"regular" pages start from 10001 then...I was wrong before, the 
categories of the XML range from 1000 to 9000 ;)

is that really so bad what I am doing?
