Versions has always behaved a bit strangely when there is a conflicted file. 
Not only does it not support 3-way merging, but it disables the Local Changes 
menu/toolbar items as well. I would love to see the diff functionality extended 
to allow resolving conflicts via 3-way merge. (Even better, interactive 
conflict resolution would also be extremely nice as well.)

Myself, I use FileMerge (installed with Xcode 3.x) to do 3-way merges. 
http://www.defraine.net/~brunod/fmdiff/ The 'fmresolve' script feeds the files 
in the correct order to FileMerge, and saving writes data to the original file. 
I invoke it via Terminal; in the case of your example, it would be `fmresolve 
tileEngine*.as` — it picks up the names of the other files automatically. 
Slightly easier and/or more convenient than having to drag multiple files. :-)
