I only have a familiarity with Christianity and the "no other gods before me" thing. I am curious what other religions have to say about it.

Some Christians in India worship Jesus as their top god, and local deities as secondary gods. I'm guessing this is common in places where Christianity spread peacefully into a culture with a polytheistic (and preferably decentralised) pantheon.
