Can a brush have multiple objects?

I have a set of brushes from images of similar objects. My ultimate goal would be to combine 3 or 4 of these objects into one brush. So basically, I want to choose a brush, click to stamp, then click again to stamp a different object. Is this possible, to have multiple brushes work in one brush?

Let me know, thanks!
 
Create a new document white background between 1000 x 1000 pixels or 1500 x 1500 if the brushes are small brusshes then it doesnt need to be that high. But if they are high resolution brushes then you want to paint with them so they are still sharp at the largest size you can if that makes sense.

anyway so in your new document paint in black using the brushes you want to combine so you have a scene. Crop out any excess white so your new scene takes up most of the document.

Then go to edit > define Brush preset then that will save your current image as a brush in your brush panel it will be the very last 1.
 
Another idea that comes to mind is using the Dual Brush in the brush settings dialog box. Press the b key on your keyboard for the brush tool, and then click on Window>Brush to access the brush panel. In the list of the dialog box, click on the Dual Brush setting and choose which of your brushes you want to use. Now this method only allows for two different brushes to be used at once, but since you're new to Photoshop it's best that you start off slow so you learn how the tools work. Also, be sure to adjust the Size, Scatter, Spacing, and Count sliders until you're happy with your results. Like I said, baby steps here.
 
Good advice Chris (though he didn't really say he was new to PS). I think the dual brush option like you said is the most you can get in PS. At least to my knowledge (which is often limited "mrgreen:)
