Yes it's possible, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368010.aspx & http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb204770.aspx#concurrent_installs but you shouldn't do it for the reasons listed on those pages.
Use a bootstrapper to sequence your pre-requisites. WiX v3.6 ships with Burn or you can use something like dotnetinstaller (http://dotnetinstaller.codeplex.com/), SharpSetup (http://sharpsetup.eu/) or you can purchase commercial packages such as InstallShield (or write your own). Also don't cross post user questions to the wix-devs list & a quick search on Google would've answered this question as it comes up so often on this list.
