Tibetans frequently identify  themselves as practising both Hinayana and 
Mahayana together.

They  teach that outwardly one should follow the Hinayana vows of the  
Pratimoksha, inwardly the Bodhisattva vows, and secretly the Vajrayana -  
beginning with the first.

In this view the Hinayana is seen as the  essential foundation for the 
Mahayana.

-  C>>>
Right, the Hinayana in the Tibetan system is the sine qua non.
 
One suspects that perhaps our fellow denizens are applying  
Judeo-Christian-Islamic or other paradigms of competition to a system that  is more likely 
to incorporate and synthesize than to vanquish differing  views.
 
Best  wishes,
