I am still trying to figure this out If I understand you correctly Jon, you are saying to query the categories from the product.php and assign them to smarty.
I have tried a few things here the latest being

$smarty->assign('customer/category', 'category');
include ("customer/main/product.tpl");

which I thought would assign the category and include the product.tpl which would then display the button on the correct pages but I am obviously still not doing something correctly as this does not change the response to the page.

If anyone can tell me how to do this I would be really grateful.
Thanks
