Hi Yusuph,
This is correct and an important restriction. Options can only belong to one
category, this is to make sure aggreation of catoptioncombos for a data
element is consistent.

You can (and should as much as possible) use categories in mutiple
catcombos, but not options in mutiple categories.

If you search the dev list you'll find lots of emails were this has been
discussed, if your interested in more details.
