Can product have 2 or more categories?

I like the same product to show up under more than one categorie. Can you somehow make a product belong to more than one categorie instead of registring the same product twise.

best Regards

Admin>Categories>Categories / Products

Go to product you want to copy to category. Click on (C) on the right hand side and select the alternate category.

I am using this to provide a 'list all products in category' type function.

You can link products under different categories. This is done on the product level.

If you want to see it in action, you can look at the site in my sig. The owner sells collectibles - mostly photos at the moment. Various photos are linked to various categories (like the film they're from and the actor depicted). It's a simple thing to do if you haven't taken a look. You select the product to be linked and then the category to link it to. Products can be copied the same way (good if you have similar products that you want to create).

When I try this, I notice the following issue:

Say Product 1 is linked to Category A and B.
Go to Product 1's product page by clicking through Category A.
Add it to cart.
Click on the item from the shopping cart.
User is now brought to (seems like 100% of the time) Product 1's product page listed under Category B (as seen by the bread crumb trail)

Anyone else experience this? Is this a bug, or am I simply doing something wrong?
