Jinton = Katon + Doton + Futon (Doton is neutral in relation to Katon and Futon)

In the Mei's case, she can't be Kekkei Tota, because not have a neutral element.

So in this theory, because in "Suiton + Katon + Doton" Water is superior and not neutral, she does not have Kekkei Tota? I may be misunderstanding entirely.

Concerning kekkei tota, given how it doesn't appear to be a skill that is passed down through a family linkage but rather as a taught ability, my thought has always been that Jinton is an advanced manipulation of Doton, enhanced with two extra elements. Not fully a complete mixture of the three but an evolution of Onoki's presumed affinity for Doton techniques. This might be more convoluting than helpful, but it's like how Deidara's techniques were primarily Doton and could be deactivated in the same way that normal Doton techniques could, even though they were actually Bakuton and only half Doton and therefore immune to the normal weaknesses of Doton.

But isn't the ability to use two or more elements simultaniously a Kekkei Genkai in its self?

The common element between Futton and Yoton is Katon. So who should be neutral is Katon, which does not happen, since he has relations with Suiton: Suiton -> Katon

In the case of Jinton (Yoton+Jiton), which is Doton his element in common, Doton has no relations with Katon and Futon, being neutral. This neutral nature is what lets you create a Kekkei Tota.
