Wordpress loop - Display posts by tag from differing post types

I'm trying to display posts within the WP loop and am able to successfully do so with <?php query_posts('tag_id=10'); ?>Here the loop will display all posts with the tag ID of 10, but I'd also like the loop to display posts from within a Custom Post type by the same tag.

I'm able to successfully display posts with tag_id=10 that originate from a custom post type using <?php query_posts('tag_id=10&post_type=videos'); ?>

But how can I merge the two?

I gave this a shot: <?php query_posts('tag_id=10, tag_id=10&post_type=videos'); ?> but that had no effect.

Any ideas on this one?

This runs an action before the posts are actually queried, thus altering the original output to your specific needs.

function tag_archive_mod( $query ) {

   if ( is_tag() && $query->is_main_query() ){

        $query->set('post_type',array('post','video'));

   }
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'tag_archive_mod');

Very, very useful. http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/pre_get_posts

You can use this

query_posts( 
    array(
        'post_type' => array('post', 'videos'),
        'tag_id' => 10
));
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
    // loop code
endwhile;
wp_reset_query();
