the 40 objects of meditation is a list compiled by the theravada commentators, although most, if not all, come from the teachings of buddha

the four foundations of mindfulness is the primary meditation path where as the other meditations mentioned in the 40 objects generally support the practise of the four foundations of mindfulness

one can certainly take the mind as a foundation of mindfulness. however, when the mind becomes clear, still & quiet, the four foundations of mindfulness (i.e. body/breath, feelings, mental states & dhamma truth) will naturally arise as the objects of meditation

kind regards
