 * Hi there!
 * I’m currently working on a project where I need to display the same post in two
   diferent ways. Here is how it should be:
 * Post 1 is in categories a and b.
    Post 1 can be listed using the category-a.php
   or the category-b.php templates.
 * Is there any way to display the Post 1 using single-a.php, when the user clicks
   in the category-a.php list, and to display the same post using single-b.php when
   the user comes from category-b.php?
 * I’ve thinked in passing some variable to the permalink structure, but this may
   be a little tricky, and I’m not sure if that’s the best way to aproach this. 
   Maybe WordPress has a better way to handle this, but I don’t know any, some help
   would be really apreciated!
 * Thanks a lot!

 * I’ve tried [this aproach](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/9573/load-post-with-a-different-template).
   Works like a charm!
