I tried your method a couple of times, but still failed. could you plz help me look at the following code and tell me where should i put the ‘$do_not_duplicate’ array?

i now would like to have three latest sticky posts at the top of the list.

$sticky=array(
                        'cat'=>2,/*category to be displayed*/
                        'showposts'=>3,/*number of posts to be displayed*/
                        'post__in'=>get_option('sticky_posts'));
$others=array(
                        'cat'=>2,/*category to be displayed*/
                        'showposts'=>7,/*number of posts to be displayed*/);
/*the query*/
query_posts( $sticky );
/*the 1st loop*/
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
    echo '<li><a href="';
    the_permalink();
    echo '" title="';
    the_title();
    echo '">';
    get_short_title();
    echo '</a><span>';
    the_time('Y-m-d');
    echo '</span>';
endwhile;
/*reset query*/
wp_reset_query();
/*the 2nd query*/
query_posts( $others );
/*the loop*/
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
    echo '<li><a href="';
    the_permalink();
    echo '" title="';
    the_title();
    echo '">';
    get_short_title();
    echo '</a><span>';
    the_time('Y-m-d');
    echo '</span>';
endwhile;
/*reset query*/
wp_reset_query();
