The phase structure of a two-fluid bosonic system is investigated. The proton-neutron interacting boson model possesses a rich phase structure involving three control parameters and multiple order parameters. The surfaces of quantum phase transition between spherical, axially symmetric deformed, and SUπν*(3) triaxial phases are determined.
