I have had similar issues in the past, manager says one thing, and company president comes along and tells me to do something else. Basically I just told my manager about it and let him get a better handle on the channels of communication.
You should bring it up first thing in your meeting, so the reviewer is aware of the conflicts you were facing, and it doesn't sound defensive then if they bring it up during the review.

I have brought it up
MANY times. In e-mails, communicator, on the phone. Both my manager and the other managers should know by now that I'm stuck in the middle. I just the feeling that my direct manager may not by the type to tell the other management to back off.
I'm very conflicted. I have trouble sleeping at night (for the past 2 months), I constantly think about work and pleasing each manager, etc, etc. The worst part is that I saw a promising career with this company, and I have worked really hard to get the required courses and certifications done.
A lot of my friends and family say I should just move on, but I have job hunting and I hate to give up.
