Simultaneous gold cost payment

'Gold production from multiple sources to pay a single cost is simultaneous, including any Reactions with a trigger such as “When paying a Gold cost.”'

1. Isawa Chinatsu has a Strength of the Forge attached. I want to play another Spell that has a gold cost of 4. With the above ruling in mind, can I use both Chinatsu's and the Spell's Reaction to pay for it?

2. Chinatsu has two Strength of the Forge attached. Can I use both of them if I can straighten Chinatsu after casting the first one (e.g. with The Agasha Foundries)?

3. My stronghold is Kyuden Asako and I want to play a Spell with a gold cost of 4. I bow a Temple to Shinsei to produce 2 gold and as a Reaction straighten Chinatsu. Can I then use Chinatsu's Reaction for the same payment?

Thank you!
