Plant compatibility

I have a question for you...

This spring and summer while researching which plants to grow, where to put them, container size, sun exposure, etc. I learned how some plants grown together are beneficial to each other while others are harmful. An example is how tomatoes grown with basil can actually change and enhance the flavor of the tomatoes. Is this also true for a hydroponic/aeroponic environment such as a tower or nft system? In the same respect, I learned that some plants deplete some nutrients while other plants add those nutrients back. I cannot remember the specific plants or plant combinations, but I wonder does that also happen in the hydroponic/aeroponic environment? I also learned that there are plants that, if grown too close to some others will actually kill them. Again, I don't remember the exact plants or plant combinations where this occurs, but does it happen in a multi-plant system or plants growing in the same tent?
