Here is some code I've been using for a client site.

horiz_menu.tpl

  <div id="drop-down-menu">
    <ul id="nav" class="dropdown dropdown-horizontal">
	{assign var="loop_name" value="subcat`$parentid`"}
	{foreach from=$categories_menu_list item=c key=catid name=$loop_name}
  	    <li class="{$c.category|amp}{if $smarty.foreach.$loop_name.first} first{/if}">
  		  <a href="home.php?cat={$catid}"{if $smarty.foreach.$loop_name.last} class="last"{/if}>{$c.category|amp}</a>
  		{if $c.childs and $c.subcategory_count gt 0}
  		    {include file="customer/sub_menu.tpl" categories_menu_list=$c.childs parentid=$catid level=$level+1}
 	            {include file="customer/mega_menu.tpl" categories_menu_list=$c.childs parentid=$catid level=$level+1}
  		{/if}
  	    </li>	
	{/foreach}
    </ul>
  </div>

sub_menu.tpl

{assign var="loop_name" value="subcat`$parentid`"}
  <ul>
    {foreach from=$categories_menu_list item=c key=catid name=$loop_name}
      <li class="{$c.category|amp}{if $smarty.foreach.$loop_name.first} first{/if}">
        <a href="home.php?cat={$catid}" class="{if $c.childs and $c.subcategory_count gt 0}dir {/if}{if $smarty.foreach.$loop_name.last}last{/if}">{$c.category|amp}</a>
	{if $c.childs and $c.subcategory_count gt 0}
 	          {include file="customer/sub_menu.tpl" categories_menu_list=$c.childs parentid=$catid level=$level+1}
  	{/if}
      </li>
    {/foreach}
  </ul>
