I am certainly inclined to believe that a single ability can only augment once. You can certainly use a Death Affinity to Augment Close combat, but not then use the same affinity (even a different feat) to augment the same ability.
I have some doubts about using different abilities to Augment the same ability. I'd be happy to allow Death Affinity and Lightning Reflexes at the same time, but I don't see that Death, Close Combat and Sword can all be crackling up and down the same sword at the same time.
