Google allows Multiple tracking codes on web pages however some configs may not be supported.


You can install multiple instances of the Google Analytics tracking
code on your web pages to send data to multiple properties in your
account.

Not all configurations are supported. You can, for example, install
multiple instances of the Universal Analytics tracking code
(analytics.js) on your web pages but only one instance of the Classic
Analytics code (ga.js). Multiple instances of ga.js might result in
inaccurate data collection, processing, or reporting. You can,
however, install one or more instances of analytics.js on web pages
that also have a single instance of ga.js.

Using multiple tracking codes might be useful if users with access to
different properties need to see data from the same web site, or if
you have multiple versions of a web site. You might, for example, want
to collect data from example.com using one instance of analytics.js,
collect data from example.co.uk in another instance of analytics.js,
and use a third instance of analytics.js on both websites to see the
aggregate data.


Using Multiple Tracking Objects you can combined multiple Google Analytics ID's and accounts, this is useful for multiple site owners overseeing all of parts of the website. This can be done by editing the JavaScript see the example below:

ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-Y', 'auto');
ga('create', 'UA-12345-6', 'auto', 'newTracker'); // New tracker.
