   Hello, I'm using is_child() to display a menu for child pages that use a custom template based on Thematic page.php.

   is_child() works as expected using Thematic's "default" page template, or when using the custom page template without any modification.

   However, using query_posts to display posts from a given category for one of these child pages removes the menu?

   This is also the case when basing the template on Thematic's index.php.

   I may wind up using category page templates to do what I need to do but thought I'd seek a little advice on this point ;)

   Apparently the problem had to do with how I was using WP_Query.

   I needed to comment out //thematic_indexloop();, and replace it with something like the following:

   if(is_page(3)){
   $second_query = new WP_Query('cat=8');
   } else if (is_page(4)){
   $second_query = new WP_Query('cat=9');
   }

   // The Loop
   while( $second_query->have_posts() ) : $second_query->the_post();
   echo '

3. ';
   the_title();
   echo '
';
endwhile;

wp_reset_postdata();

...hope that answers a question for someone.
