No, not any clear link that is stated except for a couple mentions of conflicts because they often have overlapping turf. I think it mostly has to do with marketing. Putting a protagonist and an antagonist in the same book gives two possible areas of interest for buyers and makes it long enough to warrant a hardcover, which I believe generally sell better.
