Absolutely possible.

Recently, I posted that Yehoshua's belligerence by saying "adoni Moshe
k'lo'eim showed us why Moshe Rabbeinu selectedhim to be the general against
Amaleik. Off-list, it was pointed out to me that this is after all
anachronistic I am giving a reason WHY after the event . What I meant to
post  was that Yeshosua's character traits as identified by the torah in a
later story were probably manifest earlier, hecce Moshe selected him.

Simimlarly, the Schachh's Shita could have been manifested earlier by
another poseik!  However, the story as it has been presented is indeed
anachronistic.  And if the story has been told about Shach and SMA it should
iether be fixed to say an earlier rabbiro  or the anachronism noted.
Otherwise people might flasely assumet he Shach was earlier or the SAM was
later. The SMA was from the VERY earlier commentaries on the SA and his MAIN
work d'risha/perisha [actually beis yisroel!] is fundamental to learning the
Tur. The Shach was a full generation or 2 later.
