Yes but there again despite the massive ease of having everything "pre-routed" and "pre-hooked up" you're still running a complete gain stage (input, output and virtually everything in between) into another set of gain staging. Do-able of course...ideal probably not. Of course a properly configured patch-bay, as you mentioned, would eliminate the ackward "pre-amp into pre-amp" situation and it would obviously cover the idea of "easy" connections" more appropriately.

Either or as long as the OP understands the general concepts here
