looks like yes - but it may take some doing, could get confusing if you're not careful.
It looks like 1 sure way is to have 9 (or 12) equations with 9 (12) unknowns. (that can be whittled down to 3 equations and 3 unknowns)
(i.e.,
x^2 + y^2 = z^2
x1^2 + y1^2 = z1^2
x2^2 + y2^2 = z2^2
z = z2 + y1
etc
