peas and tomatoes

How about peas and tomatoes?  Has anyone tried starting their tomato
transplants right in front of the peas so they can be trained up the
trellis, and take advantage of the nitrogen fixing in the soil?  One of
rodale's OG books makes a suggestion about peas on the outside of tomato
cages, and putting the tomatos in later, but for the life of me, I just
couldn't figure out how you'd get the tomato IN the cage with the peas
growing all around it.  Maybe I'm being dense;)
