Hi edo,
If you plan to connect an external power supply and USB at the same time, it is recommended to connect a diode to both for safety. The power will be supplied from the side with a higher voltage, preventing backflow to the side with a lower voltage.
Connecting the outputs of two power supply circuits without diodes may work, but since I do not know the details of the power supply circuits, I recommend that you prioritize safety.
