> 1. In the category template, a post's theme will be determined by it's category. In my idea, an interface will related to many category, for example Web Programming interface will related to these categories: XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, JSP, AJAX, etc. (the relation between interface and category is one to many).

This is a kind of interesting idea. Reminds me of this:

> 2. Every interface will have it's own feed.

> 3. The guests can still visit the blog as a whole. All posts will be displayed with theme that selected for interface Whole if a guest visit the blog as a whole. The guests can still visit every interface in the blog using subdomain or subdirectory, but they can also visit the blog as a whole by using main domain. In short, an interface is a subblog, which consists of posts within certain category/categories.

In keeping with the way the rest of WP works, it seems like an
"Interface" as you're calling it would just be a customized query that
contained a certain intersection (or list) of categories and/or tags.

> My idea can still be extended, therefore I'm expecting suggestions from all of you. By the way, Alan, do you know a plugin to do a category template?

A single category can have a custom template just by including a file
called "category-ID.php" in your theme's directory, where ID is the
numeric identifier for that specific category.
