As far as I can tell, the categories are created as accounts within GnuCash, so when starting with a blank file, if I were to import my checking account from Money, in addition to the checking account being created within my assets folder, all the categories are created as accounts, so I'll get a 'natural gas' account, or 'Amex card' account. The problem is when I then import the 'Amex card' account from Money, it will double up the transactions in the checking account where the two have interacted.
I had thought that perhaps the order in which I imported the accounts would matter but perhaps they don't.
