This is my understanding as well.Mmmm, nothing in RAW suggests this to be true. By RAW each and every effect (which may impose multiple conditions, penalties, damages, etc) is entirely independent of every other one. So if you take ongoing 5 poison damage (save ends) twice, you will only take 5 points of damage (because ongoing damage of a type doesn't stack) but you would have to save against each one independently.
I try to avoid mixing monsters that could cause confusing condition combinations (e.g. on fire vs. immobilized AND on fire), but that's just for my own sanity.
