Relations can contain other relations, but the cycle map won't render them. The cycle map will only render ways. > > > I have the same problem with bus routes.

Unfortunately only one of the routes is indicated: http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/osm/?zoom=16&lat=6702824.35798&lon=-16265.00202&layers=B00 What used to happen is that all 3 refs got rendered one after the other, but then I upgraded mapnik and the behaviour change... we're slowly trying to fix this. The side by side spider diagrams that get used for bus routes would be quite cool, but you're right -- they'd be really tricky to render automatically
