The Forsaker (can't remember which book) gets a SR which stacks with all others, and is to my limited knowledge the only exception to the SR-doesn't-stack rule.

They do not stack I think. However I will allow a character as many chances to get an SR check as items or ability allows.

Say a PC is a Drow - 1 check
With a Ring of SR 5 - 1 check
I treat it as different lines of defense.

I believe that spell resistance is superceded by the highest the target has. I think that damage reduction is the only defence that is layered as long as the effect that bypasses the DR is different (i.e. 5/magic and 3/silver).

I think "the Sage" fixed that.
