You never use dope inside a fitting, the threads will push it right out into the tubing and things down stream.
Only use one or the other and don't use dope not meant for PVC.

Melts the plastic.
By the way, the most common cause of leaks involving plastic threads is OVER-tightening. The manufacturer calls for hand tight plus about one turn by wrench. The lubrication provided by tape or dope makes it deceptively easy to overtighten.
