I wouldn't think so - but don't take my word for it! We'll see what everyone else has to say :)

I would think it would be a problem disease-wise as long as you removed any diseased leaves right away. Tomatoes often get blight from rain and water splashing on their lower leaves, but I am not sure that this would effect your raspberries or strawberries.
I also checked my companion planting books, and they don't show as being incompatible, so you should be okay to go ahead!! :wink:

Actually Strawberries and tomatoes should be kept apart because the diseases that affect tomatoes can jump to strawberries.
