Nope, I suffer from this problem too. I've been thinking about a more
general problem, that of displaying multiple method definitions in the
same place/window/whatever.

It seems the solution is two-fold:
* write a widget that can display multiple methods in the same pane, and
* tell the system that you want to see certain methods together.

In the case of tests, you could always use reflection - you're viewing
a method starting with "test" in a TestCase subclass, so if there's a
setUp method (or series of setUp methods, in the case of overriden
methods), display them together.
