When I saw the subject line .. I thought. .good .. another person who is
going to put up many, many yagis ... then I read your post and smiled.
My rule of thumb is:
Dipoles for harmonically related bands separated as far as possible.
Those for non-harmonically related bands can be fed with the same feedline.
Vertical/horizontal separation ... as much as possible under your
individual circumstances .. but .. remember that your tower is a
'vertical' and, if you're not going to 'shunt-feed' it, then it should
be over 1/4 wavelength from the vertical antenna ..[I suggest over 1/2
wavelength].
Good luck
