TAP+Spanair
Outbound: LIS > NCE
Return: NCE > BCN
Both in August.
Kayak Multi-city search is returning the TAP+Lufthansa, TAP+Swiss, and TAP+Austrian itineraries but not TAP+Spanair. Spanair, however, is the only *A carrier with a NCE-BCN nonstop.
The one-ways run $291 (LIS-NCE on TAP) and $92 (NCE-BCN on Spanair). The TAP+Swiss itin is $285.
Any suggestions on getting the TAP+Spanair nonstops to price in a single itinerary?

First, I assume you're checking for a valid date, as Spanair only flies that route on Monday, Thursday, and Friday.
However, the major issue is the fare rules. As I read them from ITA, the fare rules indicate that the Spanair fare is not combinable with a fare from any other airline.

It has nothing to do with playing nice with other *A kids so much as just having fare rules that limit combinations with other carriers. Lots of airlines do that on their cheapest fares.
