Can a record be SELECTed twice in sort/selection processing?

"Can not" or "should not"?

(I'm reworking the program so as to avoid it, but I am now curious...If 
you forced a sort/select program to walk through the records twice (say 
with a lookup to whatever order it goes in to start from the beginning) 
and SELECT the same record twice, will it show up twice to the output 
processing table.  (And, no, Ken, I didn't try it yet.:-)
