You can create a group where each member is a field with different element types. Depending on the data, you may or may not see artifacts at the boundaries. So, you would have to determine if this is useful or not.
Although the DX data model can represent a variety of element types, most modules only know how to deal with triangles and quads in 2d, and tetrahedra and hexahedra in 3d.

So you must reduce each set to lowest common object, triangles (for 2D surfaces, whether they are in 2 or 3 space), tetrahedra for volumes.
