To understand this tutorial its important to understand flexicontent concept, the goal is to create a powerfull CCK with less coding.

That the goal, to acheive this we need to have many option (maybe too much) but with flexicontent you can do a lot function just by click on option.

To be more flexible we add a complet heritage system, all values and options can be override by many way. It realy interesting because you can acheive 2 differents view (1 peer user type) with the same category of content. Very inetresting for example if you want to create a liste a product for public and same liste with same content but with more information more field

Heritage system is 

For category display : Flexicontent global config -> Category Template -> Category config -> Menu link to category
For item display : Flexicontent global config -> Item Template -> Type config -> Menu link to item

this hierachy is done because :
- an item can be in multi category
- an type can be in any category

in fact when you are lost the question is where are you ? in item view ? in category view ? => and check option step by step.
