Author Can IP interface be part of multiple IPMP groups??

Is it possible for one physical IP interface be part of multiple IPMP
groups(each IPMP group is meant for different LAN traffic)?

Assume I have two interfaces:qfe1 and qfe2.
I would like to create 2 IPMP groups as follows:
IPMP-Group1: qfe1 as active and qfe2 as standby; For LAN1
IPMP-Group2: qfe2 as active and qfe1 as standby; For LAN2

Is that possible?

I was referring about the subnet.
Btw, how does it differ for the VLANs?

In such a case, the traffic visible to the cards might not be
identical. IPMP isn't supposed to work in such situations.
