Why do you need a fast reply? You aren't going to purchase all of these fish at once, are you?
Tell us more about the tank and we may be able to answer this question a little better for you.

I believe what Lion is concerned about is if you buy those three fish and add them at once, your bioload may shoot the ammonia up beyond your system's ability to deal with it, endangering all the tank's inhabitants.
If introduced one at a time, with sufficient time in between, then it merely comes down to a compatibility/tank size issue.

It is not even a question if you ask me. Your tank will not be able to handle all three of those fish at once. If you get any kind of spike in any levels, one or both of the butterflies may and probably will perish.

2 angels in the same tank? Is that just for smaller tanks? SWF has an alert by all their angels, and I understood two angels in the same tank will fight, usually til somebody moves out!

How old is your system? I'm not exactly sure, but some of those fish may need a more established tank. Anyone else know?
I definitely would not rush into adding them. Personally, I think it is fun to addd them slower, because once you've hit a full bioload you can't add anymore, so it's better to savor the moment anyway. Not to mention that adding fish too fast could end up doing more harm than good.

All of those fish need a very established system of AT LEAST 6 months, but personally, I would think more along the lines of 12 months.

I was thinking the same thing.
