Certainly yes. But I don't see the requirement for it - it has some 
drawbacks (memory requirement).
In your example the outer way is tagged with landuse=reservoir and 
natural=water. You want to have two polygons - one for the mp 
(natural=water) and one for the way (landuse=reservoir). Why do you need 
the two items? Doesn't natural=water and landuse=reservoir tag exactly 
the same thing?
