¿Can´t matter that decoherence matters for 2 distinct observables simultaneously ¿ Maybe the measurement apparatus must been defined clasically in this case

There is nothing special about multiple observables. You can even construct observables which directly depend on other observables, so decoherence in one has to imply decoherence in the other as well.

You have decoherence everywhere, all the time, happening in the world.
 
But in the case of decohere in various observables, not being one function of other/s, in what observable basis collapse??
 
You do not need collapses.
If you prefer interpretations with collapses: in both. Those observables have to be commuting to get this anyway.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
