Yes.

How individual connectors affect overall behavior is related to settings on each connector and the service as a whole governing that sort of thing, all of which are documented. Anything is possible depending on the outcome you want in response to failures at every level, though covering for some sorts of failures can require a FailoverConnector referencing something that can't fail, like the Static connector.
