What ure saying is not entirely right. If you look up /tos/system/AM.h file although the TOS_Msg struct has a "strength" field, this is not trnasmitted or received over the radio. It is only used for internal accounting. So one has to look up ADC channel 0 to get the RSSI value.

Search the tinyos helplist. This topic was discussed already many times.
Basically Tinyos puts the RSSI value of every packet received over the
Radio into the field strength of the struct TOS_Msg
