Wenet to try it and...uhh... no, actually the end cut is the inverse
of the long cut so the rail is coped on the end to fit over the stile
and also has the same profile as the stile along the long edge.

Very interesting, really didn't think of that but makes perfect sense.

I actually have some experience with high-end 3D modelers also such as
SolidWorks or Inventor (which is probably a problem for a Sketchup
user). In that realm, I would use the profile cut on the stile to
"subtract" the profile from the rail where it intersects, a boolean
operation in technical terms. Does Sketchup do something similar?

If I understand you correctly, I would draw the profile of the cut on
the end of a stile, opened for edit, then use the "follow me" tool to
effect the profile the length of the stile.

Might want to practice and review some of the "follow me" tool tutorials
and see if that does what you want.

Caveat: I may be missing your point here. Sorry
