My solution for my own style is quite simple here: I include 
'inc/address' very early at the beginning of points/lines/polygons 
style files.
Has also the advantage, that mkgmap:street is set to the original
street name, before we add suffixes or prefixes like '(B101)' or
something similar. And I can use mkgmap:country or something
similar in my style files.
