If you just get all the relevent categories in @categories then for
each category accessed via something like
@categories.each do |category|
then you can use category.sub_categories and then for each of those
the posts in exactly the way suggested in your original code.  There
is no need to do anything special in the query, just fetch the
relevant categories.

By the way could you not top post please, it makes it difficult to
follow the thread.  Insert you reply at appropriate points in the
previous message.  Thanks.
