Egpws/tcas

Hello guys,
Iam not sure if this has been discussed before, so I am starting new thread.
We were departing an airport in austria followed by an early right turn over mountaineous area with an MSA of 8600ft, in the climb I observed a target on the TCAS approx. 1500ft above, 8NM away with a high rate of descent (separation was safe). The question now:
Is it possible to get an TCAS RA "Descent" followed by an EGPWS warning "TERRAIN Pull up" a few seconds later?? I am not sure if both systems are communicating with each other?! Are there any procedures for a case like that??
I asked two of our TREs, but they were not sure either.
Thanks for your help!!
