Unfortunately i have to agree with all of the above. It is never a good idea to mix species together. Especially in a tank as small as 10gallons.
If both the anoles really are males i would take one of them back to the store immediately and just keep the one. In fact, i would do that anyway. In my experience, anoles do not do well in two's unless they are both females. Two males will kill each other for sure. And if you have one male with one female the male will often relentlessly chase the female attempting to breed with her until she dies  And a 10 gallon tank is too small to add any more anoles so i would return one.
As for the tree frogs and the house gecko's, it would *probably* (and i say that with great hesitation) be ok to leave them together, at least for the time being. But I would do it in a larger tank than a 10, a 20long would be better. The biggest problem with tree frogs is if they are kept too warm it can dry them out and kill them. But house gecko's prefer to be pretty warm...so you can see where the problem occurs.
Overall I would try to get new enclosures for all the animals as soon as possible. It is a great shame you were so misled by Pet Store personalle, unfortunately you had to learn the hard way that it is important to do lots of research (from many different sources) before purchasing any animals. Good luck with everyone! Keep reading and keep posting!
