I'm trying to setup the following:
(turn-order
(Red move-type1 drop-type2 Black move-type1)
(vica-versa for Black)
)
This is to allow Red/Black the ability to move any piece regardless of owner, but only drop friendly pieces. At each turn, Red can do any of the three choices.
Can turn-over be written with multiple arguments for each turn?

No, the most that's allowed to be specified for a single turn is:
(which-side-to-choose which-side's-pieces movetype)
The only way to make the both sides move the same pieces is to make all the pieces owned by the same side. For example, by a player named BothSides:
(turn-order (Red BothSides) (Black BothSides))
