I have 10 4wk old guineas, that at 6wks will go into a holding pen in the coop, as I would like for them to be coop trained at night. Last night the next door neighbor brought home 2 adult guineas, and released them right away. My question is, if those two stick around, will I have issues with mine and the coop training once they are 12wks and allowed to free range?

Chances are your neighbor's Guineas are long gone now. It takes a while for guineas to imprint on the area/coop/run. I raise keets and chickens together, the Guineas fly out of the run for bug patrol, but come back to the "flock" in the evening.
 
And if those two hear your keets they are liable to come live with you. That's what happened here a few years ago. The neighbor got three Guineas and turned them loose, it didn't take long at all for them to figure out I had a flock over here and across the fence they came. I caught them all, returned them to the neighbor who then rehomed them.
