The operative distinction and restriction are not between object modules and load modules (or program objects). They are between sequential and "library" dataset organizations. (As usual a DD statement or the like that fully identifies the name of a PDS[E] member, which can be opened and read by QSAM, is treated as a sequential data set.)

See page 43 of z/OS V1R6.0 MVS Program Management: User’s Guide and Reference,
 SA22-7643-03:

You must not mix data set types in a single concatenation. All concatenated data sets must be either partitioned or sequential, not both. A PDS or PDSE member is treated as a sequential data
set
