CA's Root and subordinate

Hey Can anyone help me with this...

If I have a root CA and Subordinate CA's
Because Subordinate CA's function as root CA's in an orginisation then can you make another subordinate CA below First Subordinate CA?

Root CA

|_subordinate CA (works as root in org)
. |
. Subordinate CA? <- is this possable?

(ignore the dots they are so the pic worked properly)
If you can understand what I am askin and know the answer that would be really cool

Karl

Very brief description...
Certificates and certification authorities

A little more in depth...

I'm sure that there is a maximum depth that you would want to go, and it is recommended not to go very deep, but yes, you can have a hierarchy.
