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

you should be able to. as long as the surface was prepared correctly for the latex to bond properly.

Yes you can; however, it will impart an amber hue on the surface.

Just make sure the paint is completely dry before applying the polyurethane.

Yes, you can as long as latex is secure, not flaking.
