A couple of us have been making some wierd builds using bloodlines. I'm seeing differing opinions based on what I've read and heard from multiple sources. So, I wanted to see if someone can point to a rules statement to make sure.
1) PC has both bloodrager and sorcerer draconic bloodlines. What gets advanced with Dragon Disciple levels? Both bloodrager draconic bloodline powers AND sorcerer draconic bloodline powers or only one of them?
2) PC has both crossblooded bloodrager and crossblooded sorcerer draconic/destined bloodlines. What gets advanced with Dragon Disciple levels?
3) PC has both bloodrager and sorcerer draconic bloodlines. Then takes levels of arcanist with the Bloodline Development exploit. What gets advanced; both bloodrager draconic bloodline powers AND sorcerer draconic bloodline powers or only one of them?
4) PC has both crossblooded bloodrager and crossblooded sorcerer draconic/destined bloodlines. Then takes levels of arcanist with the Bloodline Development exploit. What gets advanced?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

1 & 2: The FAQ on Dragon Disciple says "Yes, dragon disciple's blood of dragons ability should also increase draconic bloodragers’ bloodline powers." RAW is that both get advanced. My opinion of RAI is that you pick one class.
3. Bloodline Development reads "If the arcanist already has a bloodline (or gains one later), taking this exploit instead allows her arcanist levels to stack with the levels of the class that granted her access to the bloodline when determining the powers and abilities of her bloodline." Note the use of the term "the class that granted her access to the bloodline." RAW it would not apply to multiple classes which grant bloodlines, which suggests the player would need to pick one.
4. Bloodline Development also reads "The arcanist must select an ordinary bloodline with this ability, not one altered by an archetype." Crossblooded is an archetype, therefore Bloodline Development would advance either bloodline.
