<!-- Add this to category header: -->
<mvt:item name="ry_toolbelt" param="Array_FromList|l.all_settings:KE_extrasubcats|'catcode1,catcode2,catcode3,catcode4'" />

How to to fake subcategories showing up as if they were assigned to this category.
Put the category codes in a comma delimited string in the code above between the ' ' marks. Do not put a comma at the end of the string.
This is an example you can cut and paste if you mess up the line of code above.
<mvt:item name="ry_toolbelt" param="Array_FromList|l.all_settings:KE_extrasubcats|'Trinity,Vogue,Zeus,Massera'" />
Note: if the code is invalid, or inactive, it will not display.
Note: this is not a real category subcategory relationship, 
         it will not be mapped in the xml feeds or anywhere else in the store. 
         It is for display on this category only.

<!-- Add this to the CTGY page template in the page tab below where the category title storemorph tag is. 
This looks for real subcategories first, then add the ones that I specified above. In this way I could force non related categories to show up in a list on a category screen. -->
