Worpress Page Template Next & Previous Links

I ran into this problem on the Stearns events and recipes pages, which both use custom templates pulling in posts from a particular category.  We use the query_posts() function on those pages.  The next_posts_link() and previous_posts_link() functions are used on normal multi-post pages to navigate through more items than appear on one page.  Using the query_posts() function without the paging, such as:

query_posts("cat=4&limit=5")

the paging doesn’t work at all: It just shows the same results for each page. To get this to work, you must tack on the “paged” parameter with the “$paged” wordpress php variable, like:

query_posts("cat=4&limit=5&paged=".$paged)

and pagination will work just fine. You can only do this for one set of items, but you’d want to break out to a separate page for multiple anyway.
