You certainly can't make contact between two units by reforming. I maybe misunderstanding your comment though. The question is, can you charge two units at the same time.
well, without digging deep into the rulebook, here is what I would say: if you can avoid it, do so while following all other rules. You can only declare a charge on one unit after all. If I get it right, you effectively charged with the FLANK of your tomb guard into the knights, that's what I would call sketchy. In this case, since both the Bret infantry and the tomb guard are ten wide, you could have the tomb guard over to their left one base and still maximize the number of tomb guard/bret infantry models fighting. After the brets break, the tomb guard are no longer in combat then.
(now, what if your tomb guard had been eleven wide. In this case, to maximize the number fighting against the bret infantry, would you then accidentally engage the knights? I don't think so but, I can't back it up with the rulebook)
EDIT: fine, I did look it up in the rulebook after all.
p18: "a unit can normally only declare a charge at a single enemy unit". It then goes on to say you can declare a charge on multiple "if there is NO WAY AT ALL of completing the charge without touching the second unit. In your case you clearly could have completed the charge with the tomb guard off to the side a little relative to the brets (even if that meant missing out on attacks).
also p22: "There is one important principle that you should always keep in mind when charging: under no circumstances can a unit use its charge move to move into contact with an enemy it has not declared a charge against."
