title: Can I Reuse A Wordpress Query Twice On Same Page Without Requerying it?
body: <p>Not sure if this is a strange or stupid question, but I have a website with a home page slider that is set up something like the following: (obviously not real class names, but just descriptions of what they are)</p>
  
  <pre><code>.... WP QUERY, FEATURED POSTS ...
  &lt;ul&gt;UPPER SLIDES CONTAINER&lt;/ul&gt;
       &lt;li class="Slide With Background Image"&gt;
          &lt;div class="Slide Description"&gt;
              &lt;span&gt; Category &lt;/span&gt;
              &lt;h2&gt; Title &lt;/h2&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/li&gt;
      ....
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  
  .... SAME WP QUERY, FEATURED POSTS ...
  &lt;ul class="Lower Slide Navigation"&gt;
      &lt;li class="Slide With Background Image"&gt;
          &lt;div class="Slide Description"&gt;
              &lt;span&gt; Category &lt;/span&gt;
              &lt;h2&gt; Title &lt;/h2&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It is set up this way because as the main slides cycle above, the lower slides show previous &amp; next upcoming slides.  </p>
  
  <p>Anyways, to my question: is there a way that I can just use one DB query to fill both areas? </p>
  
  <p>It seems inefficient to be making the same call twice...</p>
