I think it has to do with the intent of the spell and it's target attribute. Using 'ware as an example. Reaction enhancers (that oviously inrease the reaction...which HAPPENS to affect initiative) is compatible with wired reflexes (which is INTENDED to increase initiative and HAPPENS to inrease reaction). The part that stands out...anything that increases the number of IP you have is not compatible with anything else that increases IP.
I'm fairly certain even those don't work together. SR4 seems to define 'initiative enhancement' as anything that affects Reaction, Intuition, Initiative or Initiative Passes, and nothing that affects any of them are compatible (IIRC there's one booster for reaction that doesn't state it's incompatible, but all the other ones do, so it may as well be...)
