Yes, forbidden.
More examples:
x = 1
y = len(s) + x
=> ok, decides that x is an int
x = 1
y = x + 3.0
=> ok, decides that x is a float
x = 1
y = x + 3.0
z = len(s) + x
=> forbidden, x cannot be an int and float at the same time.

This is how Haskell works and I don't notice much complaints about it.
