You misunderstand the mechanism by which toggle-theme works.  A theme
may declare a family:

  (deftheme tsdh-light
    "A light Emacs theme.
  Used and created by Tassilo Horn."
    :background-mode 'light
    :kind 'color-scheme
    :family 'tsdh)

When a theme of this family is enabled, M-x toggle-theme will either
prompt the user or toggle the theme to some other member of the family
automatically (the latter works if there are only two themes to switch
between).
