Compressing the rope is a good thing when it's in your pack, and compressing the rack is not usually such a good thing.
Stick the rope on the bottom if you're carrying both. In addition to sparing the fussy little cables on your Aliens, you'll find that the rope is a better back pad at the bottom of your pack than your #5 Camalot.
If you need to carry bivy stuff plus your rope and rack, make two (or more) trips. Water on ropes for first trip b/c they're heavy, less appetizing to bears than your mom's snickerdoodles, and not terribly interesting to passersby to rip off. HTH. ;-)
If you're going alpine style and plan on having all that crap in your pack at once, you probably already have your packing preferences dialed...or should.
