I'm so late to this discussion but Relius is my favorite character and I have always planned to come back to this when I got LiveJournal sorted again so... here I am...very late. :) Anyway...
My short answer is also that I agree with what you've said. I always felt that Gen saw their situations as virtually identical and all of his actions (to Relius and Attolia) stem from that.
And I agree with brandy-painter's description of Relius' relationship with Attolia. I do think he's in love with her but not the kind of "in love" that results in marriage or a similar type of relationship.
Relius is my favorite character in the series and I love when discussions about him come up. I hope his part in the series is not over.
