I highlight current line by evaluating:

(hl-line-mode)

It could also be set globally:

(global-hl-line-mode nil)

The problem is that this way line highlighting overrides highlight-phrase. So my question is: “how to highlight both current line and a given phrase in this line?”

    Both highlight-phrase and hl-line apply faces that have a background color set. hl-line wins because it uses an overlay, and overlays always override text properties, which highlight-phrase uses. I suggest that you work around this by customizing the hi-yellow face to use a bright foreground color instead of a background color, or even a box.
