I would be real hesitant to do this 'trick'  Granted diverse fluids 
might not mix well.

BUT:  the action of using the brakes in regular driving means fluid goes 
in the lines, and Back out of this lines,  AND this can create some 
'spray' reactions inside the fluid reservoir. This is easily evidenced 
by the need for a splash guard at times when helping the boys with their 
old cars when performing routine maintenance or some driveway brakes 
work. there were times when it was like a geyser!
Can one say 'brake fluid all over the place?' without some form of 
splash guard when doing this with the master cylinder cap off?
