In one app where the notion of record "category" didn't fit, I instead used the categories to track the record's class/type--thus I was able to put mixed types of records in one database and use the Palm API to iterate over all records of one type, count them, etc.
Of course you can do the same thing by using a small field in your record definition itself.
