Well, yes, but beware: the parent function's stack is not valid if the parent function exited. So for asynchronous callbacks, you can only use it in the function managing the loop (e.g. main). Otherwise they will be called after the parent function exited, and so any access you do on its stack will only lead to a crash in the best case. In short, they are nested functions, but *not* closures.
