If you are mounted and both you and your mount threaten a target, would you trigger the effect of the Gang up Combat feat? I feel like the answer is yes based on the Faq link bellow but i wanted other opinions.
Gang Up:
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/gang-up-combat
"Benefit: You are considered to be flanking an opponent if at least two of your allies are threatening that opponent, regardless of your actual positioning."

"You count as your own ally unless otherwise stated or if doing so would make no sense or be impossible. Thus, "your allies" almost always means the same as "you and your allies."

I'm sure it should be, but it isn't (pending ACG errata). So you currently need Combat Expertise and Int 13 as prerequisites.
The big thing with Gang up is it is a combat feat, This means 2 things in my case at least being that i am aiming for a build using Brawler.
Unlike Pack Flanking, Gang ups prereq of 13int is covered by The level 1 class ability "Brawlers Cunning" and if need be it can also be used With Martial flexibility to gain access to the feat whenever i want if i don't have it permanently yet.
Pack Flanking is not combat feat and thus does not work well with Brawler as it requires me to adjust my point buy to allot for a 13 int. I Feel its a bit weird pack flanking is not a Combat feat considering its prereq is and a lot of other flanking effecting feats are combat Feats (example Flanking foil, Outflank). I was mainly looking to see if gang up was a possible substitute due to its interesting wording.

This is the very first thing I'm faq'ing (errata-requesting) when the errata gets released if this hasn't been addressed. I've got a character that's sitting in limbo waiting for this to be addressed because I was given some bad advice in the planning stages and didn't realize it until it was too late.
