Exactly, it's time travel and anything's possible. You could say an emotional farwell to 11 eleven then bump into 1 the very next day.
Would actually love to see this on screen where a companion leaves their doctor and then does an adventure with a past doctor who's meeting them for the first time. Wev'e kind of already had it with river in the library but it wasn't quite the same as she met multiple doctors all out of order and presumably had already had adventures with future versions of 10 (considering he seems more familiar with her by the start of time of angels) so it wasn't really the same.
It would be great if a companion who wev'e seen with 'their doctor' leaving the doctor either permanently or just temporarily and then bumping into, and having an adventure with a past doctor, who just takes a liking to him/ her for the same sort of reasons his future self does, with the companion feeling awkward, and trying not to mention anything about his future.
Could even be cool to see this the other way around, say for example Capaldi land's in a place where an early series 7 version of Amy and Rory are, and they see the tardis, think the doctor has turned up for them, and run in only to find the 12 and Clara inside. Then for some reason the story requires them to stay together for the episode and all the while Capaldi's hearts are breaking just to be around them and Amy is constantly trying to get info out of him as to why this future version of him has replaced them. Obviously at the end he'd have to drop them off home, and swear them to never mention his visit to 11 the next time they saw him.
With writer creativity and actor availability their are so many possibilities
