I believe friendship is a gift. And not everyone is bound to be a friend to everybody. We too have our own definitions or so called criteria in selecting our friends. This thing is very subjective according to our liking. And that fact made it vulnerable to other's personal choice.
It happened to me that I have a very closed friend in colloge whom I got a chance to introduce him to my friend from a professional group I belong. They have very different personalities that at a glance you would really know that they wouldn't jive. So what I did is to let them know that they are free not to consider each other as friend if they think they won't get along well. That made them realized that they need to be a friend of my friends just to keep our friendship.
Until now I still enjoy the friendly relationships with both of them. They too, remain just an acquaintance.

I don't think we choose our friends based on their compatability with our other friends. We like them because we have something in common with them that we may not have in common with other friends. That doesn't mean they have to like and get along with our other friends, and vice versa. You can always choose to hang out with different friends at different times.
