The Tufoverse is stated in most of the series' to "not be connected" to eachother, and that certain while "in line with eachother" aren't fully connected.

As far as Lycan Fallout and Zombie Fallout are concerned, it's safe to assume that LF is a sequel series of sort to ZF, though Tufo states in the foreword of LF that they kinda sorta aren't.

That being said, I believe in the prologue of ZF 6, Mike mentions most if not all alternate realities, with the only static tie-in being himself, and occasionally others from other timeliness joining him at different points in different forms along with himself in some instances being aware of the other timelines.

I think a big part of that "no connection between series" thing in the LF prologue was a way for Tufo to have full creative liberties for the ZF world without putting himself in a position that would require him to abide by the future of the LF world while also allowing an explanation of his future situation without putting undue creative restraint on future ZF novels or having to ret-con any past ZF novels.

As an aside, Mark has both indirectly mentioned while also dropping hints in ZF and IH that Trip hops between timelines for an as-of-yet unexplained purpose whereas Mike is present in all timelines but is only "consciously aware" during whatever alternate reality you may be reading at the time.
