    Umbraco CMS content within custom tree/section

    This has sort of been asked before, but the answer still confused me...

    http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/4941-Hov-to-create-a-content-tree-in-my-custom-section

    I've been watching the videos on umbraco.tv about creating custom sections/trees, and was wondering if it would be possible to create my own section/trees with one of the trees containing regular Umbraco content nodes.

    I'm creating a site for my friend's wholesale business, and will need to write a "sync" tool that will update content on the site based on a daily export of inventory data from MYOB (accounting/inventory software). I'm just currently weighing up the options between:

    Importing the data and then;

    1. Creating/updating the product and category pages as regular Umbraco DTs and content
    or
    2. Creating a new section/tree(s), storing the data in custom tables, etc.

    I'd prefer to store the data as regular Umbraco document types because they're flexible, and the possible caching/display issues with option 2. I was sort of hoping to be able to use the relations API to relate product nodes to their parent category nodes, and pull them into the custom tree that way.
