I'm a little afraid of the greater implications if we allow that kind of broad defining of classification.

I remember discussing classification of nuts, fruits, and vegetables with my mother...especially coconuts and eggplant, I think. I came out rather more confused than I went in, and with the opinion that the categories are rather...fuzzy?

One big issue is that those categories overlap, or are ambiguous because they exist in different areas. For example vegetable is a culinary category, but fruit is a botanical category, but can also be a culinary category. So tomatoes are a vegetable, a fruit and not a fruit, respectively. (Same for eggplant.)

Botanically speaking a nut is a type of fruit (hard, one-seeded etc). A coconut is basically just the seed, so by that count it's already not a nut. Furthermore the coconut-fruit as a whole is a drupe, so also not a nut. Which is to say that botanically speaking it should probably fall in the same category as the seeds of other drupes, like shelled almonds or apricot-stones (and like the former, and unlike the latter, I wouldn't try eating the rest of the fruit).
Seeing as you might find almonds in a bag of mixed nuts, as well as other types of non-botanically-nutty seeds, it could potentially fall in the same culinary category, but I'm not sure. It's a bit big to put in a bag of mixed nuts, in any case.

Now that's a nut mix I could get behind though.

It's actually amazing how few (botanical) nuts there actually are in mixed nuts.
Of peanuts, almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, and pecans (to name a few from a list on wikipedia); only hazelnuts are botanically speaking nuts.
