I don't understand the problem regarding JOSM. If a way is contained
in one or more relations and you split it, you get a popup where
according to the relation-type a default is set, and you are asked to
modify or confirm. I have seen this for multipolygons, routes and
turnrestrictions. Can you please specifiy which type of relation you
refer to (and/or which version of JOSM you are using)?
