I've created a new content type, and associated with that content type is a taxonomy vocabulary with two levels.  I would like to have a page that gives general information about the content, and then a tab for each top level term in the vocabulary.  On each tab, I would like to list the nodes for that top level term, and also display in the list the second level term that is assigned to the particular node.

I spent a few hours yesterday trying to get this to work using the Menu Tab functionality in Views.  I can get the three tabs to show up, but with a couple problems:

1) I can't get them to be displayed under a page that already exists.  According to the help on the Default Menu Tab page for the Parent Menu Item Type, "
or to use the menu item that already exists at the specified URL. For example, if the URL for the default tab is 'tracker/all', then 'tracker' would already have to be a valid menu item to use this final choice."  So it my case, I have a page node with the url of mypage.  For the view tab, then , I would like to go to mysite.com/mypage and see the three tabs.  I set the URL of mypage/view1 and set the Parent Menu Item Type to "Already exists (don't create)".  I also have two other views set up with URLs of mypage/view2 and mypage/view3.  If I go to mysite.com/mypage, I get my static page just fine.  However, if I go to mysite.com/mypage/view1, I just get my three views, without the main parent page.  Is there a way to set my page and the tabs up this way?

2) On each tab, I would like to display the second level term that is assigned to each node in the field list (using Table view).  However, it seems that in Views, I can only display the top level term, not the second level term. 

Is it possible to do what I need to do with just Views, or will I need to do some custom coding?

Thanks.
