Yes, you can.

Dynamic-Link library search order
   A system can contain multiple versions of the same dynamic-link
library (DLL).


That said .. wasn't there something recently on this list about not
being able to find cygwin1.dll using the windows search?  Probably
either attrib or dir from a command prompt would find it - eg:

C:\>attrib cygwin1.dll /s
           C:\Cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
           C:\Cygwin\source\tcptrace\cygwin-libs\win9x\cygwin1.dll
           C:\Cygwin\source\tcptrace\cygwin-libs\winNT\cygwin1.dll
           C:\Cygwin\source\tcptrace\cygwin-libs\cygwin1.dll
           C:\MyProgs\John\run\cygwin1.dll
           C:\MyProgs\TCPtrace\cygwin1.dll
           C:\MyProgs\win_xplot\bin\win9x\cygwin1.dll
           C:\MyProgs\win_xplot\bin\winNT\cygwin1.dll
           C:\UTIL\cygwin1.dll
C:\>
