Only if you use an AuthByPolicy to control the execution sequence.

Be aware however that you need to be very careful with AuthBy RADIUS 
clauses because they operate asynchronously and always return IGNORE.

See section 6.24.1 in the Radiator 3.11 reference manual 
("doc/ref.html").

What exactly are you wanting to do?

No there is no direct support in Radiator to do this.

You can however use a ReplyHook in the AuthBy RADIUS clause to do 
anything you wish, see the examples in "goodies/hooks.txt".
