I've put poly on over DO with no problem. Should be no issues so long as you let the DO cure for 2-3 days.

I guess I would ask why

I agree with both of the above. If the danish oil is somewhat cured, there's no problems with adhesion. But as asked: why? I suppose you might want the darker color of Waterlox, or the film strength it offers.....in which case there doesn't seem to be much reason to put danish oil under it. Besides, there is an unwritten rule about not putting a hard finish (Waterlox) over a softer one (danish oil). Though in this case that may not be much of a problem.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
