I've always heard arguments about not working chest/tris the same day, or not working back/bis the same day, but is it really bad to do it?
For bodybuilding purposes of course.
I can't say it's bad or good...it DEPENDS on the person.
Some people have very resistant tris or bis and they need to be trained multiple times per week for growth. In addition, training them after pre-exhaustion through back/chest as secondary muscle groups makes these muscle groups work harder, and thus grow faster.
For PURE strength purposes, this is a bad idea. For bodybuilding, it can work. The best idea is to try it out and see how you respond. If you start seeing decreases in strength, or signs of overtraining, then separate them up.
