Are adjoining Sukkoth ok?

Question

Is there any reason* neighbors could not build adjoining Sukkoth?

What I mean is, suppose there were four** row houses, which shared an open patio/courtyard with four** row houses behind them, and this open courtyard could be divided into about a 12x15'** section for each home. Could these neighbors pool their resources together to build adjoining Sukkoth, each sharing a wall (and perhaps even a door) with at least two neighbors?

_{*I mean any Halachic reason; let's assume all the neighbors are great friends.}

_{**I picked a random number.}

So you're asking if the individual sukkot are valid even if the whole is not valid as a single sukkah? (If the whole is valid, then seemingly internal divisions wouldn't matter.) — Monica Cellio, Sep 17 '13 at 16:47
@MonicaCellio I think an answer could address whether the whole thing is valid as one sukkah, valid as 8 sukkot, or invalid. Perhaps there is no distinction between "valid as (one/four)" — Daniel, Sep 17 '13 at 17:13

@AL, that works. (Also, it was just an example. It could be about any adjoining Sukkoth.) — Seth J, Sep 17 '13 at 19:39
@SethJ Not like I looked this case up anywhere, but I can't imagine why they would be invalid just because they're touching. For example, a sukkah can use a house as a third wall with no concern, why should this be different. Is there another aspect to the question that you're concerned about? — A L, Sep 23 '13 at 22:00
@Al I can't either, necessarily; but I'm just wondering if one person's Sukkah wall can be used for else's Mitzvah. — Seth J, Sep 24 '13 at 01:03
