Corn, beans and squash

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I am completely new to sqft gardening (and gardening in general), having 
discovered your list while looking for info on raised beds. I really liked 
the idea and have proceeded to turn my backyard into a checkerboard with four 
4x4 beds and 4 1x4 beds and a couple of planters and yes I went out and 
bought "the book". Tomatoes are almost 4ft high and hot peppers are just 
about ready to harvest. Eggplants are two feet high the zuchinni, melons and 
cucumbers all have blossoms. I used cinder blocks on two of my blocks and I 
have herbs, carrots, radishes, and marigolds and Nastutiums planted in the 
holes.Wow, this is fun!

Here is my question:
I have two blocks of corn, one early one late. I wanted to try the Native 
American style of interplanting with pole beans allowed to grow up the stalks 
and squash and pumpkins allowed to cover the ground. Has anyone tried this? 
Will the soil support that much crop? I mulch heavily and the corn I planted 
from seed 10 days ago is already almost a foot tall! 
Help........I still want to plant and I've run out of room!
Is there a gardeners anonymous? "Hello my name is Laura and I'm a sqft 
gardener"
