Why only electromagnetic and gravitational interactions are in classical physics?

In fact, any system of classical physics (classical mechanics, classical field theory) is a system of fermions interacting with classical electromagnetic field and gravitational field. Why nothing more?

It is surprising that the strict mathematical formulation of relativistic mechanics (in the terms of one-dimensional submanifolds of a world manifold) describes relativistic particles interacting only with electromagnetic and gravitational fields, and nothing more, too.  An equation of motion of such a particle is a geodesic equation in a pseudo-Riemannian space with a torsion, which is a strength of an electromagnetic field.

Thus, one can conclude that space-time transformations are compatible only with gravitational and electromagnetic interactions, and no others, e.g., a scalar field.
