Test Steps aren't being added to Test Cases

I'm currently working on some Test Cases for a REST-based search service that currently has no WADL but I've been able to extract all of the necessary parameters.  For the sake of compartmentalized testing I decided to create a separate resource for each parameter: terms, help, highlight, etc. and add interesting combinations of parameters in a few of the resource methods.

The problem I'm having is that I can only add the first resource's methods to any Test Cases I create.  Any time I try to add any methods from the second+ resource, I get the Select TestCase menu, the Add Request to TestCase menu, but after I click OK, the Request is not added.  It doesn't matter if the second+ resource is a child resource of the first or not.

EDIT: This is on the 3.5-beta2, btw.

EDIT 2: It looks like the problem was attempting to create multiple resources using the same endpoint.  Creating a single resource with that endpoint and creating a separate method for each parameter and interesting combinations of parameters appears to be working right now.

    I'd be interested to know what your error log was reporting at the time you were attempting to add the 2nd test step. I am experiencing the same symptom as you where I want to add a 2nd REST request test step to a test case. This is resulting in a NullPointerException error and I don't know why. The REST request itself works perfectly fine.
