Yes, you can do pretty much whatever you want with them.
The only difference between regular style elements and
the code-* ones is that they (code-compat, code-global and
code-init) are called directly from midgard-root.php3, just
like the ROOT element is.

Their usefulness comes from that they are called in before
the regular style, ie. before any data is sent back to the
browser. This means that you can set additional HTTP headers
(using the PHP header() function), or set variables used
by your style elements and pages there.
The convention has been to used the three in the following
way, but of course you're free to utilize them the way
you want to.
code-compat - compatibility code for migration between
different Midgard versions, etc. I've seen this
in use in only a couple of places.
code-global - code that is common to your entire site. If
you want to have some custom functions, etc. available,
this is a good place to put them.
code-init - code specific to a particular page. This is
very often used for handling arguments sent to
active pages.
