Can a SharePoint Site Top Level Collection have both publishing and team sites active?

Question

Can a SharePoint Site Top Level Collection have both publishing and team sites active? On the top level site I have:

· Server Enterprise Site Collection features,

· SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure,

· SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection

Can these features be active on one top level site at the same time?

The reason I ask is because an some point my new subsite will not create new pages and when I transferred some pages to new subsites they won’t display the Page Content regions.

Answer 1
