Sigh.

Good way of putting it. I also don't think Wash and Inara have any interaction, but someone could prove me wrong.
In Objects in Space Inara chews out Jayne and Wash for goofing off at the table while they were having the important conversation.
you have been proven wrong

MAL: This is my scrap of nowhere. You go on and find your own.
SAFFRON: You can't just leave me here, on this
lifeless piece of crap moon...
MAL: Sure I can.
SAFFRON: I'll die.
MAL: Well, as a courtesy, you might start
getting busy on that, cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

In Out of Gas, Inara and Jayne actually have a rather lengthy conversation while Mal is waking up, but it's all in the background. Inara is wanting to clean up all the blood Mal dripped all over the ship, and Jayne doesn't think it matters.
Inara and Wash have a radio conversation in Serenity, and there's also Shindig, where she comes in to see if the landlock has been taken off. Plus in...er...Ariel...there's the whole "Can I use companion as a verb?" thing, although Wash is kinda talking to the room at large.
As to River and Jayne, other than the butcher knife, the first one that comes to mind is "Jayne is a girl's name." She says that directly to Jayne, and his "Well, Jayne ain't a girl!" is directly to River, although the rest of the sentence is to Simon.
Oh, yeah, and she does steal his bread. Does that one count?
I think it may be Book and Wash. I can't think of any scene right now with just those two,but it is pretty late, so forgive me if there's something totally obvious I forgot.

Wow, I completely missed that Inara/Jayne conversation in Out of Gas - didn't notice it at all. I guess my "punishment" will be to go watch that episode again. Yay!
I still have that question about interactions that happened in the deleted scenes - like the Zoe/Simon one deleted from Serenity. My vote is that we assume that those things happened even though they weren't included in the episode. What do ya'll think?

I could be misremembering, but I think Inara was going to watch over River, but went to her room only to find River already gone. So no direct interaction there, but the set up does give the idea that the two of them would be comfortable together--suggesting interactions offscreen.
Off the top of my head, I can't recall Inara interacting directly (other than all around the dinner table) with either Wash or Zoe. But I could be forgetting something...

actually, in bushwhacked, river starts to scream and inara goes over to comfort her (i think!). they did not talk directly, though. the only interaction between zoe and inara i can think of is in trash when they are setting up saffron. i cannot think of any time that wash and inara talked directly or had any scenes with just them. of course, they did talk in serenity (over the radio) when inara is getting ready to return to the ship after her appointments are done. wash mentions that they are in a hurry.

Your brain has lots of twists and cul-de-sacs doesn't it?

Yes, I've been thinking of having it straightened or at least highlighted, but I'm not sure what the current fashion is. ;)
Actually, as part of my Top Secret clearance processing, many moons ago, my analyzing psychologist rendered the following verdict: "You have a deep and rich internal landscape". I guess he meant that as good thing...
Let's just say that my 'stream of consciousness' has a lot of whirlpools in it.
