Wordpress post loop in page

Question

I have a custom page template where I also want to display a list of posts.

Normally in a page you can just use the following code to display content

<?php while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
    <?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

But what if before I display the page content, I have a custom query to display a list of posts? How can I after displaying those posts, go back to the original query to display page information?

That's explained in codex. with examples. since ages. codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop — hakre

After your custom query, call wp_reset_postdata() function to get back default wordpress loop.

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

For more info and example check at http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_reset_postdata
