Jan 3, 2010 at 11:49 comment added Harry Gindi I'll let someone else answer it then, but I'm pretty sure that the nLab page shows that your objection is irrelevant.
Jan 3, 2010 at 11:38 comment added Martin Brandenburg you miss the dependancy between the diagrams. in the notation of my post, the diagram $(y_{ij})_j$ depends on $i$.
Jan 3, 2010 at 11:35 comment added Harry Gindi Every object of A bar is the limit of a small diagram D in A, and every object of A double bar is the limit of a small diagram D' in A bar. However, A and A bar are subcategories of the complete category X, so we express D and D' as diagrams in X. Then take the product diagram. This is at the very bottom of the nLab page. Unless I'm terribly mistaken, I believe this should answer your question, but I'm not confident enough to post it as an answer.
Jan 3, 2010 at 11:18 comment added Martin Brandenburg as I said, in order to interchange limits, we have to start with a functor which has two parameters. in the nlab page, there is no discussion going beyond that. the problem is that in the situation above, there is no obvious way to make $y_{ij}$ functorial in both $i$ and $j$.
Jan 3, 2010 at 11:12 comment added Harry Gindi Please read the page carefully. What you're talking about is constructed explicitly!
Jan 3, 2010 at 11:00 comment added Martin Brandenburg I know this. please read my question carefully!
Jan 3, 2010 at 10:56 comment added Harry Gindi ncatlab.org/nlab/show/limit . Please read the whole page. I found at least the answer to your "let's try it", but in fact, I believe the total answer is there.
