I did not experience problems with id in such cases, but I also would not let 
the mapping concepts be lead by a single editing software. Editors can always 
be updated if they cannot cope with certain concepts, while there is no easy 
fix for ambiguous map data.

it is not a misuse, the minimum requirements for multipolygon members is one 
outer way, at most it is an unfortunate name for the kind of relation.

If you tag them “on the same way” you state that they are the same thing and 
that all tags apply to it contemporaneously. I would say they could be mapped 
with the same way delimiting them (but as distinct objects). The fence is the 
boundary of the park, there is some connection between the two, but they are 
not the same thing.
