Maybe I'm butting in here, I'm not sure.

As in Brian's example, you cannot have a stack such as (?, vehicle, ?, 
infantry).  That's clear from A12.11.  You could, however, have a stack (?, 
?, vehicle, infantry).

I *hope* you're talking about Bruce P.  The first way is not legal.  
Regarding "obvious"...

Consider this combination: (1/2 ?, 5/8 counter, 1/2 counter)

It could be (?, Gun, crew), or it could be (?, vehicle, squad).  I do not 
believe it is obvious which it might be (OB considered, of course).

It most certainly *could not* be (?, vehicle, ?).

How about this: (1/2 ?, 5/8 ?, squad)... kinda looks like an "obvious" Gun, 
eh?  (I grant that these applications may be very rare...)
