It depends on the structure. I think it is possible.
Language has hierarchical structure, not linear structure.
For example, "I decided to give him up in the bedroom."
This is a phrasal verb followed by a prepositional phrase, and I have placed them in the sentence so that the particle of the phrasal verb and the preposition are together. But it's because the two phrases are next to each other.

Or do you mean use them as two words in a row? In that case, I don't think so.
