it hasn't on purpose. the relations I use are not used to stitch
together polygons. they are relations in the traditional sense: they
collect various data about the same thing, in this case, an airport. the
related data is a range of lines (runways), points (navigation aids) and
other stuff, like the 'airport reference point', etc.

see above, the geometries are imported fine, I do have the points and
the lines imported that are related to these airports. what I don't
have, but would want to have, is the relation itself in PostGIS
