I have a pair of Jackson's in an open cagw that has 5 levels with plenty of room to hide from each other. I am thinking of adding a pair of Warner's to the mix, or just another female Jackson's.... thoughts?

Seriously... I wouldn't suggest adding Warners to the cage. Mixing species is never recommended. So if you just HAVE to have another chameleon in that cage - add another female jax. 
In cages large enough - we have seen small groups of jax get along well. Just watch the original female... she may not like the idea of sharing her mate (even if she does have a headache most nights). *LOL*
Hope this helps,

It's a wonder these animals can co-exist in the wild. I had a fish tank with cichlids. They were agressive, but they adjusted. I was hoping these lizards would just divey up the space.

In the wild, they respect each other's territory. The obvious difference is that in the wild they can move to another tree or shrubby area - in a cage, they cannot move. The constant stress of having to hide from "the potential enemy" will kill them.
Hope this explains,
