yes but you cannot put latex on top of oil based surfaces You actually are NOT advised to put oil over latex surfaces, which is why you're supposed to prime will an oil-based (alkyd) primer. Latex and Polyurethane should always have a layer of oil-base beneath it.

You should never paint an oil based paint over a latex paint. Oil based paints are meant to absorb and dry into the surface. If you were to paint an oil based paint over a latex based paint it would simply dry and flake off. For more information on when to use a latex or oil based paint please see the following article. http://www.ehow.com/how_4713170_between-latex-oil-base-paint.html
