I am considering making a Rogue and/or a Ninja, and I was wondering, do their sneak attacks stack? For example if I had 1 level of Rogue and 1 level of Ninja, would I do 2d6 on a sneak attack?
Also, I was thinking of going knife master. If I took one level of Knife Master Rogue, and the rest ninja, would I do D8's or D6's if using the specified items?
Knifemaster: Sneak Stab
A knife master focuses her ability to deal sneak attack damage with daggers and similar weapons to such a degree that she can deal more sneak attack damage with those weapons at the expense of sneak attacks with other weapons. When she makes a sneak attack with a dagger, kerambit, kukri, punching daggers, starknife, or swordbreaker dagger, she uses d8s to roll sneak attack damage instead of d6s. For sneak attacks with all other weapons, she uses d4s instead of d6s.This ability is identical in all other ways to sneak attack, and supplements that ability.

You can't take levels in rogue and ninja. Their effectively the same class, but slightly different. Ninja just happens to be called an alternate class instead of an archetype because its a lot of big changes.
Alternate classes can't take a level in their alternate. So you can't mix cavalier in samurai either.

It states right in the ninja class description in complete adventurer that sneak attack damage stacks with sudden strike
He's refering to the Ninja presented inUltimate Combat which is a Pathfinder title, NOT the Ninja class presented in Complete Adventurer which is a D&D title.
where is the rule printed that says you cannot multi-class an alternate class with its core equivalent. I see in the SRD the reference to Ninja being an Alternate, but nothing that says it can't be used with core. Is it printed in the actual Ultimate Combat book, or is it a PFS rule rather than a PF rule?

Per the OGC on the page for alternate classes (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/alternate-classes):
Alternate classes are standalone classes whose basic ideas are very close to established base classes, yet whose required alterations would be too expansive for an archetype. **An alternate class operates exactly as a base class, save that a character who takes a level in an alternate class can never take a level in its associated class—a samurai cannot also be a cavalier, and vice versa.**
