[Tagging] Relation for saying "x is attached to y"?

The problem is that, even if you have a tag on the shared way indicating "use this only for zoom X or below", and tags on the separate ways saying "use this only for zoom Y and above", there are likely to be some rendering programs that will show all three ways, leading to confusion.

Ok, two points:
1) That's a mechanism for only having a single way, and coding
information about the number of tracks. I'm talking about mapping both
tracks, but also mapping a single way which *represents* both tracks.
2) A generic mechanism would make life easier for reusers of data anyway.
