Consider

$$X = \frac{A}{A+B}, \ Y = \frac{C}{C+D}, \ Z = \frac{A+C}{A+B+C+D}$$

Then $X$ and $Y$ don't determine $Z$. Counterexample:

$$A=1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 9 \Rightarrow X = \frac{1}{3}, Y = \frac{1}{4}, Z = \frac{4}{15}$$

$$A=3, B = 6, C = 1, D = 3 \Rightarrow X = \frac{1}{3}, Y = \frac{1}{4}, Z = \frac{4}{13}$$
