On the relevant pages, you can do the following to construct the menu
for a different path (say, for example, node/7) in template.php (in your
theme_preprocess_page() function).
 

  menu_set_active_item('node/7');
 
  // build secondary links
  $vars['secondary_links'] = menu_secondary_links();

  // reset active item
  menu_set_active_item($_GET['q']);

Cheers,

Jonathan
