I've dug into the FAQ a little, and searched the Rules Forum, and don't see anything addressing this.
Assumption: You have a summoner who has taken the Leadership feat.
Question: Should the summoner's eidolon be treated as a "familiar, special mount, or animal companion" for purposes of the summoner's Leadership Score when attracting a cohort?
However, I don't imagine that's RAI, or that I've just plain overlooked something. Why do I think this?
RAI, the mechanics of the feat impose that penalty, AFAIK, to prevent a player from having too many powerful minions altering the action economy. Add to that, the in-world (or "fluff", as some people call it) argument is that a more powerful cohort doesn't want to share your attention with others. Either way, that supports applying the same penalty that a familiar, special mount, or animal companion does.
