Will THIS work?

The Only Picture On The Page That The Link Pulls Up Is The Schematic

I want to have a 2 humbucker wiring with 1 tone that is a push/pull and when pulled it reverses the phase of the 2 humbuckers, 1 volume thats also a push/pull and when this one is pulled it splits the coils so that only the screw pole pieces of both the neck and bridge pickup are being used, a 3 way toggle switch for the pickups, and a standard output jack. thanks

It's too small to read, and when I zoom in nothing comes up.

Both screw coils on at the same time will be improperly phased and it won't be a terribly useful tone for a default setting. If you go stud on the bridge and screw on the neck and put the phase switch on the bridge pickup, activating the bridge pickup will get you the screw coil. I would have both screw coils as a switched position (dpdt) and not a default setting.
 
I don't see why it wouldn't work...if you use DP/DT push pull pots you'll have two independent sets of connecting terminals in each switch. So one push/pull pot could be used to split both pickups by connecting the red & white wires of each pickup to its own set of terminals of that one switch...one pickup connected to one side and one pickup connected to the other. When you throw the switch both pickups will be split. As for the screw terminals being the ones that will remain active when the coils are split, that is a matter of whether you wire the black wire or green wire as hot or ground. If you use one push/pull pot to reverse the phase of one pickup, then when you throw the coil splitting switch you'll get the screw coil of one pickup on and the slug coil of the other left on. You can't have one pickup out of phase AND still have only the screw coils active when you throw the coil splitting switch. I didn't look at your diagram either...

You can't use one push/pull pot to reverse the phase of BOTH pickups...not enough terminals on one switch to do that for both pickups. Each pickup would have to have its own phase reversal push/pull pot. Lew
