I believe you are getting mixed up with anti virus software here. 
Certainly in Windows (Microsoft as a whole) it's a very bad idea to
run more than one anti virus program at the same time.  Sweep with
one, turn it off then sweep with another is fine but not together.  I
wouldn't have thought it would hurt having two firewalls on the go. 
Though, not on the same machine as again this would cause internal
headaches and let's face it, it doesn't take much for this to happen
with Microsoft stuff.
