Though it is possible to house different species together in living viviariums, you really need to do alot of research on the behaviours and 'nature' of each species involved. You also have to look into size differences, social nature of the animal etc, as well. Some are very shy, even with other species, others are very territorial and will attack anything they view as competition for space/food/etc. Also, you need to know about what to put in the cage besides the animals, the plants, rocks, branches, etc. Reptile Magazine has had nice articles about setting up vivariums in the last few months. Also, all the inhabitants of the cage don't have to be amphibian, some could be fish, turtles, lizards, insects etc. They all just have to be beneficial to each other in some way or unaffected by cage mates. Also the cage will of course have to be large enough to comfortably house all the animals.
