 * Is there any way to list latest posts from a single category from within a post(
   not on the post template)?

 * Did you check: [get_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts)
   
   example:
 *     ```
       <?php
        $postslist = get_posts('numberposts=10&category=1');
        foreach ($postslist as $post) :
           setup_postdata($post);
        ?>
        <div>
        <?php the_date(); ?>
        <br />
        <?php the_title(); ?>
        <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
        </div>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
       ```

 * You could use keesiemeijer’s code in a post if you use a plugin such as [Exec-PHP](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/  ).
 * Or try [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/list-category-posts/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/list-category-posts/)

 * I went to fast and read over the “(not on the post template)” bit. Try MichaelH
   solution.
