My main use for this is based on routes, so at least for relations I 
just thought about (well know it will work) a way that it will work.

I will simply put into relations file lines like route=bicycle {add 
multilevel=1; add route=bicycle....}
then in my lines file I can simply use the newly created key 
"multilevel=1" to use a different layout. So currently creating a 
multilevel map, will work fine for all lines that are originally 
relations. This should cover 95% of what I want to achieve.
