	Sure, that's not a problem.  As far as the DNS is concerned, 
everything is just a label, and you can CNAME most any label to any 
other.

	Of course, there are restrictions to using CNAMEs.  Doing this 
would mean that abc.com could not have any NSes defined for it, nor 
any MXes, nor any sub-domains, nor any other records of any type -- 
the DNS standard prohibits any other type of record existing for a 
given label if you have defined a CNAME for it.

	It's possible.  It may not work the way you want, but it's 
certainly possible.
