Will a bump map counter-act a normal/cavity map?

Will a bump map interfere with the effects of a normal or cavity map? This bump map would be applied to a displacement map.

Thanks,

I can’t imagine any reason for using a bump map together with a normal map. The normal map does exactly the same thing as a bump map (creating the illusion of details within the silhouette of the model), but gives better results than a bump map does.
