Yes. However, if you want to fine-control ordering of tasks in the same thread,
a SlaveActivity might be more appropriate for you. This will require one
taskcontext to be the (implicit) 'periodic master', which calls
slavetask->engine()->getActivity()->execute() in C++ or slavetask.execute() in
scripting for each period on each slave.

You need to setup the master-slave relation yourself in C++ or scripting.
