OSPF NBMA and P-M interoperable ???

Hi Guys,
I wonder if NBMA and Point-Multipoint mode are interoperable(I mean one
interface configured as NBMA and the other configured as point-multipoint
should they form the neighbours in OSPF ?? ) which I always thought NO
becaue NBMA require DR/BDR where as P-M does not I am afraid if my
understanding is wrong .
look at this there are 4 routers just three is involved in this scenario so
consider router 2 (router id 2.2.2.2 <http://2.2.2.2>) router
3(3.3.3.3<http://3.3.3.3>)
and router 4( 4.4.4.4 <http://4.4.4.4>) . router 2 and router 3 OSPF is
configured as NBMA where as router 4 serial interafce is configured as
aPoint-multipoint. Router 1 forms Neighbor with both Router 2 and router 3
though there are no routes instaled by the OSPF in the routing table of
router 4. The same happens with router 2 and router 3 they for neighbor
relationship but no routes from router 4 are installed onto the routing
table.
 any comments..any thoughts ???
