I think the themes you stated above are pretty much the ones I have 
identified myself.  IMO, The relationship themes can almost be placed 
in a more central theme of the importance of how one views and treats 
others.  IMO, this has been a major theme throughout the series and I 
believe that OoP merely emphazies it even more.  The two other themes 
you mentioned can also be seen in this context.  IMO, how can their 
be unity until you can view those different from yourself as being 
equal to yourself?  And how can you make the right choices until you 
consider the problem from someone elses position?
