Just for the records, the mode-stuff is obsolete. It was when I did 
mode-dependent-loopkup in 1.1b1, in the future the status bar will just 
show the name of the syntax file (yes, as a popup :) ).

With regard to the request, if I understand correctly, you want 
TextMate to know that 'source.ruby' should be handled with the Rails 
syntax, and when you have an RHTML file, which does include 
'source.ruby', it shouldn't use the Ruby syntax (as it would normally 
do), but the Rails syntax instead, so that you do not need two syntax 
files for .rhtml (one with and one without the Rails stuff)?

I don't really see any easy way to add this, I have however considered 
having the ability to apply several syntax files to the current 
document for two reasons, 1) to enable different frameworks (like with 
Ruby as base and Rails as additional framework) and 2) because behavior 
can now be dependent on context, it may be useful to have some patterns 
that just catch general stuff not really language-specific.

Though this wouldn't really help you, since it's only inside <% ... %> 
you'd want to add/apply additional syntax files -- but since TM is now 
pretty sensitive to context, I may figure out a way to do it -- but let 
me think some more about it. It does currently strike me as overly 
complex, just to avoid a wrapper file that does the proper includes.
