PostGIS can contain any supported geometry type in the 'geometry'
object, and they don't need to be of the same type within a single table
or view.
If you define a geometry column using 'addGeometryColumn', you can
define the geometry type as a single type (POLYGON, LINE, etc), or you
can define it as GEOMETRY, and include a mix.
The difficulty will come when you try to connect a client app to the
table to visualize. I'm not sure if/how they will handle mixed feature
types.

I wonder about a thing:
Does postGIS have spatial-related database views that
work like ArcView .ARP project files?
See, with project files, it is possible to combine
several SHP files of various types (polygons, lines,
etc) , in a single view.
Now, is it possible to to such thing with postGIS
database? Are there views to combine various types of
spatial tables? (polygons, lines, etc)
Many thanks,
