  To create a super-relation in JOSM, create the relation using the same 
tags as the member relations.   The network may be different if the 
entire collection qualifies as a national network while the parts are a 
regional network for example.   At the end of the name add (super) or 
(parent) in parentheses to make it easy to spot as a super-relation.

   To add the relation members; select the relation to be added by 
double-clicking on the relation, then edit the parent relation, and the 
child relation can be added from the selection list.    I think there's 
a way to select multiple relations from the relation right-click menu, 
but I'm not sure exactly how that works.
