Thanks for the hints. I managed to redefine our regional bike route 51 
as a relation of 2 relations (local bike routes) and 5 Ways which are 
needed for filling the gaps in between the local routes: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1588406

It looks to me that some of the web tools for checking relations are 
only able to present the relation's way members. They do not resolve the 
"sub-relations" into their way members, e.g. 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?relation=1588406 and 
http://ra.osmsurround.org/analyze.jsp?relationId=1588406

Am I perhaps doing something wrong? In any case, the same relation looks 
OK here:
