The problem is that each subcategory is held in lsql_Category, with FatherID assigned to each category (set to 0 if its a root category). Writing a global to do as you are asking would put CPU usage up quite a bit. A simple global that would just bring up a list of sub-categories within a category is easy, but when you try and go another subcategory deep, it is a lot harder.

i.e this would be ok;

Main category: Test
Test> Sub 1
Test> Sub 2
Test> Sub 3
Test> Sub 4

...harder;

Main category: Test
Test> Sub 1
Test> Sub 1 > Sub-Sub 1
Test> Sub 1 > Sub-Sub 2
Test> Sub 2
Test> Sub 2 > Sub-Sub 1
Test> Sub 2 > Sub-Sub 2
Test> Sub 3
Test> Sub 3 > Sub-Sub 1
Test> Sub 3 > Sub-Sub 2
Test> Sub 4
Test> Sub 4 > Sub-Sub 1
Test> Sub 4 > Sub-Sub 2

Do you see what I mean?
