Same page at different places in a menu

Hi,

Is there a way to have the same page appear at two (or more) places in the menu ? For example,

Category One
-- Page 1
-- Page 2
-- Page 3
Category Two
-- Page 4
-- Page 5
Category Three
-- Page 2
-- Page 6
-- Page 7

Page 2 fits into both categories and I'd like to have it appear at both places in the menu.

I can't see how to do it as it would mean that Page 2 would have to have two different parents. If I create the same page twice then it needs to be updated twice whenever it changes.

Any thoughts please ? I'm using v0.10.4.

Thanks

Anne

The "Content Aliases" module is designed to solve this exact problem.

http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/contentaliases/

You create the Page in one place, and use a Content Alias to point to that page from a different place in your hierarchy.

It's actually much harder to explain than to use. But if you try it, and have any questions, feel free to ask 'em here.

it could also be done as a link... where the second entry is a link back to the first.  the url being something like index.php?page=pagetwo
