Had a friend who did just that in a teaching situation,  without any problems
with cutting.  I was a bit surprised that they embedded the infiltrated
tissues after they had allowed the paraffin to harden, but it seemed to
work.  I think one should look out for bubbles forming around the cooler
infiltrated tissue, but if one was careful, why not.  I have double
embedded tissues before, in paraffin, control blocks are often done
this way with cores of paraffin embedded tissues taken from blocks, all cores
embedded in one block.
