Powering encoders plugged into the MXP

We are going to need a few DIO pins from the MXP for two encoders. Our plan was to pull the 5vdc and grounds from the regular DIO breakout area of the Rio since the encoders that are already plugged in only use one set of power pins for each encoder. Are there any forseen problems with this. We could plug the grounds for the encoders into the MXP since there are a few of them in the mix but only on 5vdc pin. Or do we have to use the 5vdc in the MXP?
