Absolutely. There are definite advantages to maintaining good relationships with your current/previous colleagues, whether they be managers or not. It's also important to remember that a person will primarily defend their own position before that of anyone else, and we should not take it personally when the inevitable conflict of interest occurs.

Friendship and acquaintance are often indistinguishable, save shared and sometimes transient interests; friendship and mutuality rarely diverge at disparate points.
