same post different templates based on category

  • Hi
    I have couple of posts related to multiple categories each.
    I would like to have a different template for each post based on the category the viewer is currently in
    currently I changed my single.php to –
    <?php
    $post = $wp_query->post;

    if (in_category(‘3,4’)) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/single-a.php’);
    } else {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/single-b.php’);
    }
    ?>

    but I still get it wrong same template no matter what category Im currently viewing

    any idea

    thanks

    what about using the archive.php or category.php file instead of single.php.
    i don’t know what theme you are using so i don’t know if those templates are available to you or if you might need create theme
