Yes (and no).  You can do what is shown in the example you provide, as long
as you understand that the function call is not made "in the middle" of the
subroutine call, but prior to that call (and the result passed to the
subroutine as an argument).  But it seems clear you mean "in the middle" only
in the sense of "as one of the arguments for a subroutine call".
