Default Share hex with allies?

This came up last session: Can 2 allies choose to occupy the same hex? are there penalties for doing so?

Exploits 34 says I can move *through* an ally's space, but doesn't say I can stop there. Thoughts?

This has come up before, but this was the relevant post:

In short, if your hex is already occupied, you're in close and have to use the rules for close. The friend/foe distinction mostly determines whether you have to evade or just pay an extra movement point to exit the hex on the enemy's side.

If that is indeed Kromm's answer, it makes no sense to me. Exploits at page 51 defines being in close combat explicitly as being in the same hex as a foe. The restrictions on actions resulting therefrom seem based upon that premise, as opposed to being in the same hex with an ally IMO. I think he should revisit this issue.

Exploits at page 28 says it's with "multiple figures", not "foes".

Page 28 is in the context of placing characters on the map.

Page 51 is in the context of discussing combat - if you are in combat with someone, they are a foe, and this section is only discussing foes.

You can't quote rules without context, they don't make sense.
