Sure--you might actually have the peering between routers, and you might 
want to have a zebra feed for other purposes, such as logging or analysis, 
safer route views, etc that might be either easier or safer or more 
trustworthy or whatever as a separate feed.

Also, we use IBGP, and have multihop IBGP meshes with the same peer, but 
the routers aren't directly connected.
