Normally we consider secondary navigation to be a more context specific branch 
of somewhere under the home. ie. it shows detail of the pages in the location 
of the page you are currently viewing as opposed to primary navigation that 
shows only navigation under the home page.

There is an example of this sort of navigation in the sidebar in the two and 
three column templates of the mollio sample site.

Another sort of navigation we call utility or global navigation -- this can be 
structured separate to the home branch  -- store it in something like "Utility" 
under the root and at the same level of Home in the tree.  The practical reason 
for this is you don't want this navigation to appear in primary nav. So utility 
navs are things like the global header nav or a footer nav.. they typically are 
the same throughout the site and link to things like contact, search, privacy, 
sitemap and so on.
