It works, only not it seems not to work with Natbib. From apacite's manual:
I consider natbib as the de facto standard with which other packages should
be compatible.
Unfortunately, apacite is still not entirely compatible with natbib. The
main incompatibility is that
diļ¬erent citation commands are used, so that it is not possible to use the
same document with
natbib or apacite.
Regards.
