I use additionalModelNames a lot:

er.directtoweb.ERD2WModel.additionalModelNames=("d2wModelFiles/Reports.d2wmodel", 
"d2wModelFiles/EventPerson.d2wmodel", 
"d2wModelFiles/Experimental.d2wmodel", "d2wModelFiles/Person.d2wmodel", 
"d2wModelFiles/Show.d2wmodel", "d2wModelFiles/Event.d2wmodel", 
"d2wModelFiles/Instrument.d2wmodel", "d2wModelFiles/Book.d2wmodel")

I break apart the d2wmodel by entity. It means that the individual rules 
are easier to find. (for me that is)

I always leave the user.d2wmodel file in the top level of the resources 
folder.

BTW other rules are firing just fine ie.:

100 : pageConfiguration = 'EditRelationshipEmbeddedPersonBook' => 
displayPropertyKeys = ("book.show.showName", "book.bookTitle", 
"isPrimaryPlayer") [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment],

I have changed the order of these items and the resultant page shows 
these changes. i know that 'rules' are working. Just not these in question
