But if you would really become wild you can have IP addresses from same subnet allocated to two different interfaces. At least I know slackware allows this. But things will be pretty messy after that, you need to define host based routing and have to play with proxy arp to make things work. So refrain from this idea. Rather break your IP range in two or more subnets and allocate IP from different subnets to different interfaces, that will make routing easy.
You can always allocate multiple IP addresses to single iinterface using IP aliasing, supported by major OS.

I was thinking about this the other day... if your OS supports vlsm (variable length subnet masks) then you could possibly have multiple interfaces on one subnet... atleast one subnet as far as your router is concerned.================================================================================
