A physical interface can support more than one encapsulation. It just depends on who it thinks is going to understand the encapsulation. The router talks to the first switch in the Frame Relay cloud, but it could also talk to more than one router across the cloud. To talk to the switch you have to have the right LMI, as we all know. The encapsulation command has to do with the router(s) at the other end. They could be using cisco or IETF and there's no good reason for Cisco to make it difficult for this to be different for different PVCS to different routers. Actually Cisco doesn't make it all that difficult. You can add encapsulation to the end of a map statement.
