Hi Vladimir,
Org mode does not support this directly (and to be honest, I know very few
applications
where combining different attributes makes a lot of sense).
You could probably play with org-emphasis-alist and org-latex-text-markup-alist
to cook something up.
but first I would think very hard about the question if this is really needed
and does not create too much visual clutter.
