There has to be a reason for people to work together, a common goal from the outstart. Thats a major problem with mainstream employement, most people, especially the young just consider it a job that they have to do so they dont drive things, they just sit back and get told what to do. Its not natural. Once you've worked for yourself you realise that work is not a job. You know what you have to do, and you gain an understanding of what it means to get more out of things. As such, I would say that it is critical to get people together with common goals. If you dont, then you have a disfunctional team that will never work together. However, manager in middle street business actually want people to live in disfunctional gropups so they dont rise up and take control, dont learn how to do it for themselves. Thats why on big web business all the roles are split up so that no one person can leave and do it all themselves. Your either marketing, developmnet, finance, but not all. So, back to your original question, if they dont get along from the outstart then it shouldn't be.

Personally I dont get along with anyone outside of business. I could never work in a 'team', but I get on OK running a business and interfacing with clients. Its a different environment.
