I have seen this issue previously discussed but have yet to determine if there is any possible solution or workaround for the specific results I'm trying to achieve. Here is my scenario:
I am looking to serve up the same content to two different groups of users, using two different navigation structures which will contain nested sub-items. I believe I can organize the content in such a way as to avoid having multiple menu items point to the same content within the same Menu. However, I would like to point to the same content across different menus since I'd like to present the content (navigation) appropriately depending on the role of the user I'm serving.
The problem is that Drupal becomes confused about which menu subtree to expand (it collapses all top level menu items) when a node is referred to by more that one menu item, even when the items appear on different menus. Is this the expected behaviour when different menus are involved?
Is there any way using URL Aliases or a contributed module to provide the additional definition so that Drupal can properly decide which menu subtree to expand?
I'll gladly provide more information if it will be helpful in resolving my issue. Thanks in advance for any input you may be able to provide.
Have a great day!!!

This has been an issue in some of the structured sites we have where we use the menu system as the primary site structure. I'll reply if I find anything.
I'm posting a link to your comment under the submenutree module's issue page.
Did you ever resolve this?
Did you ever resolve this?
I have the exact same scenario that you have described above. I have Members and non Members and the menu links are different for 90% of the site, but I have a few pages that I want shared across the two different menus.
I would be very interested in know how you resolved this.
Any Solution yet?
Did anyone come up with a solution for this? In views I added one or to arguments to the path and in the menu I add dummy text to create the URL. Like this:
path in views: /colours/chart/roc/%/%
Menu items:
Colours:
/colours/chart/roc/-/-
Charts:
/colours/chart/roc/--/-
(I use 2 arguments because I also have multilanguage support needed)
This does the trick
This is a fairly old post but just in case you or other still need help with this. I had this issue because we had a node that can be accessed from more than 1 menu. Problem was that if you wanted a 2nd level menu on the page as well, you would end up with 2 menus because the page was associated with 2 menus...
So anyways, check out http://drupal.org/project/nodesymlinks
It adds an additional window to Menu Settings inside the node for you to add the node to more than one menu location. It also modifies the breadcrumb trail so you can keep the user where you want them.
Hope this helps someone!
Thank you kindly,
