Yep, thats actually what quite a few games do, they use TCP for important packets like chat messages / scene update message and UDP for unimportant ones such as player movement. Though its usually a better idea to just implement your own layer on top of UDP to do reliable packets if you really need them.

Yeh I used mixed protocols for different things, I mainly used TCP for login / chat stuff and UDP for walking / updating the scene.

Nowadays though its probably a better idea to implement your own 'reliable packet' layer over UDP to keep the speed up.

well the server only works if you allow open ports on udp and tcp.
