What about strategy-RPGs?
Many such basically take the combat from RPGs and make that a strategy game. But is there a genuine "strategy-RPG", game that is both a strategy game and an RPG, or just strategy games with RPG elements or reversely RPGs with strategic battle system?

I think what you mean by that is more the Tactical RPG genre in itself no ? Cuz I can argue that any type of RPG's demand a modicum of strategic process to the way you approach any of it's RPG-esque elements, same for the combat.
