So we all know that similarly-typed bonuses to the same ability/skill/etc. don't usually stack.
There are lots of sources of enhancement bonuses to abilities. They are typed such that they specifically don't stack. I understand. Else our characters would all be walking around with the stats of elder gods (rather than the demi- and lesser gods they usually emulate).
The Strength domain granted power, Strength Surge, also grants an enhancement bonus. However, it doesn't specifically list the Strength ability score as the target, listing instead lots of Str-related checks as the target of the bonuses.
Soooooo, who thinks this would stack with a standard casting of bull's strength?
They would stack, enhancement bonuses to strength stack with enhancement bonuses to attack rolls ect.
They would not however stack with enhancement bonuses on weapons (for the attack roll). As enhancement bonuses on weapons apply to the attack roll.
Magic weapons have enhancement bonuses ranging from +1 to +5. They apply these bonuses to both attack and damage rolls when used in combat.

So to further the "target" argument:
The Strength domain granted power targets a creature. That creature gains all the listed enhancement bonuses.
A magical (or masterwork, for that matter) weapon would be in addition to the creature's own bonuses (regardless of source, wouldn't it?
It matters what the bonus is to, in both the case of strength surge and masterwork/magical weapons the bonus is directly to the attack roll.
As a standard action, you can touch a creature to give it great strength. For 1 round, the target gains an enhancement bonus equal to 1/2 your cleric level (minimum +1) to melee attacks, combat maneuver checks that rely on Strength, Strength-based skills, and Strength checks. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Magic weapons have enhancement bonuses ranging from +1 to +5. They apply these bonuses to both attack and damage rolls when used in combat.
In both cases the enhancement bonuses are added to the attack roll.
Unlike an enhancement bonus to strength, which increases strength. And then the increased strength bonus is added to the attack roll.
It matters what the bonus is to, in both the case of strength surge and masterwork/magical weapons the bonus is directly to the attack roll.
Convinced.
And we thank ye, kindlye.
No problem :)
