Can 2 Zones Use the Same Pipe for a Few Feet?

Hi, I am starting to install a 3rd zone in my finished lower level in my hydronic baseboard heating system.

I started to notice that 50% of my 3/4 inch copper pipe runs will be exactly adjacent to an existing loop.

Can I tie into that pipe as long as I exit it before it returns to the zone valve without messing up anything (such as in the case where BOTH zones are running)?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I had someone recommend closing my air vent located on the negative side of the circ. pump. Since I'm redoing everything, should I remove it? I plan on putting one where the Pressure release valve goes and there's another at the air scoop too. Plz see photo at:
