I want to construct a page that displays a number of nodes. Each node is of a different type, as follows:
Node 1: Page content, by node id. Node 2: The most recent node assigned to specified taxonomy term Node 3. Page content, by node id.
This is an 'about' page that details a project (node 1), gives the project's status (node 2), and explains the project's mission (node 3). The first and third nodes don't get updated much, but the third node needs to be the most recent update, with a history of updates viewable elsewhere on the site as e.g., a category of blog posts, or some other content type I may decide is more appropriate.
For the first and third nodes, I can simply pass ids as view parameters. But I'm stuck on how to incorporate the second node. I guess what I'm looking for is a way to do a view of views, or to create a view with a subquery.
Ideas?
It sounds like what you need is the panels module ( http://drupal.org/project/panels)

Yes, it looks like that would be the solution. But I forgot to mention I'm running 6.x. Panels doesn't have a 6.x release. Any other possibilities?

In that case your best bet is probably to create a page template file and render your Views programatically. Unfortunately, I'm not developing with Drupal 6 yet, and haven't checked out the API changes in Views 2 so I can't really advise further. In D5, you would do something like "print views_build_view('embed', views_get_view('yourviewname'), $view_args, FALSE, $limit);" and that may or may not still work in D6.

Nodequeue is a nice module that does this sort of thing too.
The second and third nodes shown on the right at www.cai.org are grabbed from "nodequeues". The nodequeues are embedded in the front page template.
