I think that, in the case you quote, --install is saying "run rpm in  
install mode" (i.e. has no arguments) and all the non-options on the  
line are treated as rpms to perform the action on.
I don't think you can have rpm --install file1.rpm file2.prm --remove  
file3.rpm file4.rpm, for example (I could be wrong on this matter).
