Not in the literal sense, but what you are trying to do can likely be accomplished in a single loop. What are you trying to do in these "loops"?

Well, for example, say I have a loop at fades at a LED, while that loop is running I want an LED on the board to be blinking. How is this possible?

4

As always, read the blink without delay example, and really understand all of its implications.
There are about four significant lines in the example, but their potential is immense.

also on http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,76140.html dicsussed and shown in depth

The really important thing to remember is that the transitions (turn LED on or off, or set brightness up or down a level) take a tiny amount of the time available, leaving plenty of time to do other things.

Msquare, love it --Should have thought to use time.

8

Have a look at my blinkenlight web site to blink 20 LEDs "independently". I have lots of examples on how to achieve this (and lots of other stuff as well).
