Hot Water Advice

I am slowly reworking my hot water heat. I currently have one zone in floor, one zone staple up(entran Onyx) on separate taco pumps and 2 zones baseboard(on zone valves) on a common pump. I would like to add one of our old radiators in a heatless room on a third zone valve. After many consultations and purchases my board looks like an aircraft cockpit but everything is working great.Am I asking for trouble by adding a radiator to the system. There is plenty of room on the relay panels to add additional zones.
Thanks

    you are begging

    for trouble unless that ci rad. is on it's own loop.
    BB works @ 180 deg water, pannels between 80 & 115 deg water, and ci will use all the heat it can get, pass very little to the rest of the system, and mess you all up.
    Yes, pipe it in on it's own circ, or zone valve, but on it's own loop.(yes, it will need to be controlled ) true story! Happy trails
