Is there currently a way to cross-list products under different cateogires?   I know they can be added as subcategories and cross-linked through the related products, but I just wanted to know if I could actually list the same product under 2 different categories.

Yes. A product can actually be assigned to multiple categories. Please see section 5.2.3.1 (Category Parent) of Kartris User Guide for more info on setting this up ->

Thank you.   Makes that clear.   Now, is there a way to cross-list using the import tool?   It seems that adding a product to different categories on different rows actually forces the second category to become a child of the first category (parent/child).

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

I can see that happening if the category info is in CAT1_Name1 field and the other category names are left blank. Make sure that you start filling the category names from CAT5_Name1 field to CAT1_Name1 field. The data tool treats CAT5_Name1 as the root category so a row must always have data in this field.
