No you cannot. Having double NAT confuses the hell out of many routers.

No, what confuses users is not understanding that both LAN's must be in
different subnets or the router wont know which LAN you want to access.

Routers have NO issues with double NAT, it's only when the user doesn't
know anything about networking and sets both LAN's to 192.168.0.1/24 (or
the default subnet on both).

That can certainly confuse things. But also NAT tends to work by assigning
a very high port number on the outgoing and translating those. If the port
on the inward side is also a high number, then the system can get confused.
Of course they should not, but should not and do not are different things.
