A lot of folks make the same assumption, but official ruling by Clint Black on the Pinnacle forums has confirmed that all of the AB skills are purchasable by anyone at any time and can be used to make cooperative rolls, even if you don't have the AB itself. This is how, in Hell on Earth Reloaded, you can have a pre-requisite of a skill to even be able to purchase an AB. It's also how folks can have the Weird Science skill to use Weird Science gadgets without having to be a Weird Scientist. (See http://www.peginc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39287)

As for ABs, according to Clint an AB (regardless of its "focus) is a single, unique, Edge, and therefore cannot be taken twice. (See http://www.peginc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32647)
