If that other word isn't used in the title/links to the page, etc... yahoo and google both aren't going to give it much weight, if any. If both pages use keyword 1 three times, the 2nd page with the extra keyword in the url, isn't going to boost the first keywords ranking - it would simply rank for the 2nd keyword someplace.
Now for yahoo for sure, having keywords in the url, matching titles, body text, ect - does give it more weight. But the big G - if it gives it any weight, I can't figure out how to see it.
