Yes, you can. If you have the respond_to block in the controller, then anything 
you put inside the block can do whatever it wants to. Here's one from a 
controller I made some time ago with the scaffold generator:

  def update
    respond_to do |format|
      if @country.update(country_params)
        format.html { redirect_to @country, notice: 'Country was successfully 
updated.' }
        format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: @country }
      else
        format.html { render :edit }
        format.json { render json: @country.errors, status: 
:unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

Only one block will respond to the action here, depending on the format and the 
result of #update. So this won't violate the single render/redirect constraint 
on controller method.

At the Ruby level, this is just a block inside a block.
