Think of PVID as your "home" VLAN. It is where all your broadcasts live for that port. You can only set one.
If I were doing this, I'd set the PVID to the best VLAN for the machine and then make port 43 an untagged member of every other VLAN that needs connectivity to the machine. It's been awhile since I've done this, so you might also need to make the other machines members of port 43's home VLAN as well, but I don't remember for certain.
I'd stick to untagged VLANs unless you're VLAN trunking between switches or have a NIC configured to make use of tagged VLANs.
Another way to think of this is that PVID is where transmits happen and VLAN membership is where receives happen. Following this, you may need to create a single "shared" VLAN for the PVID/membership of the shared machine and make other machines that need to reach the shared machine members of the shared VLAN as well, keeping their PVIDs on their home VLANs.
I have to run, but if you're still having trouble later, I could dig up a config example.
