Can you do this with mkgmap when you only have one OSM-node? This is
rather often the case, like the example with the hotel and the
restaurant, or you often find a combination of a restaurant with a
castle, windmill or watermill.

What I would like ot have, is the possibility, to set in the style,
whether a certain element shall be used exclusivly or whether the
creation of another garmin map item from the same OSM element shall be
allowed.

The usability of such a feature wouldn't be limited to points. If you
have a street with an access restriction, you could draw the street
normally as the first line and add the restriction as a second line. The
benefit of this approach would be, that you only need one extra line
type to draw the restrictions for all existing road types.
