Sure, from 7.1 on up. For example, you can add the Control Strip and
Apple Menu Options control panels from 7.5 to OS 7.1, though on some
machines you need to add Worldscript Power Adapter too in order for
Control Strip to work. Another trick is to use the Apple CD-ROM 5.3.1
extension instead of any other versions because 5.3.1 works with non-OEM
drives so you can boot from them. Etc etc.

Try downloading the Drap&Drop and Appearance SDK's from
<http://devworld.apple.com/sdk> and try 'em in old 7.1. You'll be pleased.
