Just wanted to share my edit to show recommended and related products in 3 columns (in one row) simplified. Works for 4.2
First related products:

{*
$Id: related_products.tpl,v 1.20 2008/10/07 10:52:42 max Exp $
vim: set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et:
*}
{if $product_links ne ""}
  {capture name=dialog}
    <table class="uproducts">
     
        <tr>
{section name=cat_num loop=$product_links}
                    <td><a href="product.php?productid={$product_links[cat_num].productid}"{if $config.Upselling_Products.upselling_new_window eq 'Y'} target="_blank"{/if}>{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$product_links[cat_num].productid image_x=$config.Appearance.thumbnail_width product=$product_links.product tmbn_url=$product_links[cat_num].tmbn_url}<br /><br />{$product_links[cat_num].product|amp}</a></td>
{/section} 
        </tr>
 
    </table>
  {/capture}
  {include file="customer/dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_related_products content=$smarty.capture.dialog additional_class="uproducts"}
{/if}

and this code for recommended products:

{*
$Id: recommends.tpl,v 1.14 2008/10/07 10:52:42 max Exp $
vim: set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et:
*}
{if $recommends}
  {capture name=recommends}
    <table class="rproducts">
<tr>
{section name=num loop=3}
<td>
      	<a href="product.php?productid={$recommends[num].productid}&cat={$cat}&page={$navigation_page}">
{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$recommends.productid image_x=$config.Appearance.thumbnail_width product=$recommends.product tmbn_url=$recommends[num].tmbn_url}<br /><br />
{$recommends[num].product|amp}</a>
    </td>

{/section} 
</tr>
</table>
  {/capture}
  {include file="customer/dialog.tpl" title=$lng.txt_recommends_comment content=$smarty.capture.recommends additional_class="rproducts-dialog"}
{/if}
