No! guinea pigs should not live with any other rodent than other guinea pigs because they are not fight animals and they will not be able to even defend themselves. also they eat different foods then the other ones. for example if you kept you guinea pig with a rabbit (i know lots of people do and have happy little success stories about it THIS DOES MEAN THAT IT IS GOOD, rabbits can seriously injure your guinea pig with their strong hind legs) and if your guinea pig decides he likes the rabbit food better or the other way around or you just feed them the same kind from the beginning. this is not good because guinea pigs need vitamin C, which there is not enough of in rabbit, hamster, or mouse food. Without vitamin C, guinea pigs can get scurvy.

and with mice the same thing with the food plus the mice might be vicious and attack the guinea pig even if they are social with humans another animal is a different story. if this happened the guinea pig would not be able to defend it self and would get seriously injured or worse killed.
