If you are using a category->subcategory[..]->products setup,

one cheat is to edit the format (with mysqlcc) of the `categories` table, and remove the "index" and "auto-increment" features from the `categories_id` field.

This allows you to assign the same `categories-id` to more than one `parent_id` !
You won't need to touch the `categories_description` or `products_to_categories` tables.

However you'll have to edit the table manually.   :wink: 

Simple & effective  :D
