aloha,

just put something like this:
{include file="$SkinDir/pages_menu.tpl"}

somewhere within the capture contstruct but outside of the section construct.

So if you wanted it before the list of manufacturers in the left box it would go here:

{capture name=menu}
{include file="$SkinDir/pages_menu.tpl"}
{section name=mid loop=$manufacturers_menu}
{$manufacturers_menu[mid].manufacturer}

{/section}
{if $show_other_manufacturers}


{$lng.lbl_other_manufacturers}

{/if}
{/capture}

and if you wanted it after the list of manufacturers then insert it thusly:

{capture name=menu}
{section name=mid loop=$manufacturers_menu}
{$manufacturers_menu[mid].manufacturer}

{/section}
{if $show_other_manufacturers}


{$lng.lbl_other_manufacturers}

{/if}
{include file="$SkinDir/pages_menu.tpl"}
{/capture}
