Best Answer
Yes, they all knew each other. At the beginning, the movie shows a dark room where she introduces each personality while under the influence of another personality that was not Sybil. They also spoke to eachother. In this disorder, if they think they're someone else they'll see them in the mirror. When she's walking through the city talking to herself but in the mirror it shows 2 people, that's her recognizing the other personality.
