Like if you take Mystic Theurge and another class that enhances spellcasting, can you enhance Mystic Theurge spellcasting? And if there is such a ruling as to not, can you link me? I am failing to find such a ruling through searches.

If the prestige class actually has a spellcasting progression of its own, with spells per day and/or spells known by level, then another prestige class could enhance that.
Mystic Theurge does not have a spellcasting progression of its own, so another prestige class (such as Arcane Trickster) could not enhance that. They would both enhance whatever base classes spellcasting progressions you have.
The answer is no. You cannot try to finagle dual progression of two spell casting classes by "enhancing" the "spell casting" of mystic theurge.
Arazyr has the right of it when he says that the mystic theurge does not have a spell progression of its own. It simply enhances the spell progression of two other classes. So another prestige class would not be able to select mystic theurge spell casting to enhance, because it does not exist.
An example of a prestige class that can be advanced through another prestige class is Red Mantis Assassin.
There is a way to do it, but many GM's will say no to doing so: the Evangelist and Exalted prestige classes, as written, increase their aligned classes not simply the spellcasting. They do not mention working on other prestige classes but also do not say that they are restricted to base classes. Ask your GM.
However, Mystic Theurge already loses too many levels for it to be worth losing another one.

I believe Exalted truly increases spellcasting like a normal PrC; Evangelist is the only odd one

You are correct. Sorry for mis-remembering and feeling too lazy to actually look it up.
Evangelist only, folks, and it loses one level of casting.

The problem with using Evangelist to go with Mystic Theurge is that level 11 of MT is undefined...at that point there are no class abilities to copy.
You and your GM could extrapolate MT pretty easily if you wanted, but if you were going to do that why not just let the class go past level 10 and not mess around with other PrC craziness?
Only 9 levels of evangelist count towards progressing the aligned class, so at long as you only take 1 level in MST you'll be okay.
Assuming your GM allows it in the first place.
Most likely, the only benefit of MT 1/Evangelist 10 would be BAB.
There's a chance a GM would allow MT 10/Evangelist X, but there's a lot of debate regarding this.
If you want to look up some stuff regarding opinions, look into Uncanny Trickster rules questions from 3.5

Mystic Theurges don't have spellcasting.
