Of course.  The wireless network will appear the same as if you had all
your wireless computers connected through a second set of wires.

The computer can tell which interface by use of routes.  You will need
to put one subnet (say, 192.168.1.*) on the wired network, and a
different, distinct subnet (such as 192.168.2.*) on the wireless
network.  Then the IP addresses will be used to tell wired from wireless
traffic.
