Is there a rule against mixing the above? I'm going to assume there is a problem with mixing micas with TD and AC, but not mixing TD and AC with each other. Just a hunch. Probably wrong.

Micas, TD, and AC can all be mixed. In fact, many micas contain TD already if you check the ingredients. 
I've seen you tube soapers mix micas and TD frequently, and micas plus AC less often. Not sure if I've seen a mix of all 3, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Might accelerate the batter a bit, but otherwise I can't see it causing any major issues.

Well, how do you like that.
"check the ingredients"
PS I did & you're right!
When I made my Wedding Soap, I wanted to 'darken' both the Klein Blue and Fire Cider so I mixed in a little Black Oxide (not a fan of A/C). I often mix Mica, Oxides, Pigments, Neons, Ultramarines, Clays and TD. Usually the TD is already dispersed in oil, but if I was making a color completely from scratch, I would toss is some dry TD in the mixer.
