TextMate will get the file type either from the first line of the file  
or the extension. The recommended solution is to use double-extensions  
when it is important that different file types have the same “final”  
extension, e.g. “foo.css.php”, “foo.js.php”, “foo.php” -- here all  
files are php, but TextMate can assign different grammars to them  
based on the secondary extension.
