Multiple Embedded reports from the same table in a form

Please forgive the potentially stupid question, I want to ask before spending too much time exploring this idea.  Is it possible to use more than 1 embedded report from the same table in the same form?  Use case, I have a form with customer contacts and company contacts.  I would like to use a contacts table and embedded reports for the data rather than creating individual data fields for the contacts sections.  Is this possible?

    There is no practical limit to the number of embedded reports you can have on a form. And by way of reminder you do not have to have a relationship in order to create a report link field.

      Thanks for the quick response.  And I got to learns something new.  I didn't realize it doesn't require a relationship.  Thanks for theeducation!

        You will find that you can create a report link field and all it really cares about is to match any field on the record for the form you are on with any field in that application or any any other application in your realm.   So it is very flexible. 

        Normally use cases though could be different versions of embedded reports for example table reports and embedded summary reports or an embedded  chart on a form for the same data, and another common use case is to is to embed grand child records on a grandparent form.
