Are the comments of Tosfos in the same Mesechta generally considered to be aligned, meaning that, if there is an apparent contradiction, we try and look for a resolution?
How about Tosfos in different Mesechtas?

@WAF yes I agree with you, I just saw that question, looked up the sefer that Yahu says, hopefully will get to reading it soon, however just at a quick glance, he has a chapter where he goes through the different Tosfos authors by Mesechta and identifies (at least Meseches Berachos, which is what I was learning) as having one author/editor. – termsofservice Dec 4 '13 at 22:44

I recall a place in Bava Kamma where R' Akiva Eiger points out that Tosfos in two different chapters are clearly saying opposite things -- and we just assume that was due to two different authors/editors.

that happens a lot, I'll just give one more example the second gilyon hashas on daf 2. berachos, and meforshim on him explain how their is no contradiction between the tosfos, so that is not a conclusive proof – termsofservice Dec 4 '13 at 22:40
