Yes you can.  Views_attach creates a new display type for Views (along with 
Block, Page, etc.) that attaches itself to nodes of a given type that you 
specify.  You can also use an argument that takes a nid from the URL (either 
nid or a nodereference) to make the view contextual to the node it's on, which 
is where the fun stuff happens.  You can then order where that view will appear 
using the CCK Manage fields page.  It works for users, too.

At least that's the intent.  the drag and drop ordering is a little broken at 
the moment. :-)  I plan to release a stable version as soon as I figure out why 
it's broken and how to fix it.  Hopefully later this week.
