Merging Menus

EDIT:
Nevermind, I'm brain dead sometimes.


Okay, I have a main menu, toolbar and context menu (linked to a toolbar drop down button). I merged the context menu with the main menu, but the individual MenuItems just display across the top. The context menu doesn't allow the header to have a name, rather just the items inside (it's a pop up menu after all). So, I added another item and placed all the current items so it looks like this;

context menu
section1
->item1
->item2

It now works correctly for merging, as the section1 is displayed and drops down to show the items, but in the toolbar the menu pops up and shows its section then the user has to navigate down one more level to the items (again the context menu is linked to a drop down button on the toolbar).

Now, this can obviously be fixed via code where I can just create new menu items and reference the context menu items, but is there a way through design to solve this problem? And no, creating a menu in the main menu with the exact same items as the context menu is not solving the problem! :)
