Umm, I have no idea what you are talking about to be honest. You can barre "open" chords if thats what you mean. So play a D chord with 2nd, 3rd & 4th finger and barre with the first.

Maybe you are referring to polytonal chords?

A polytonal chord is one that contains two triads, or enough of two different chords to define them (e.g., one of the two could have root or fifth omitted). More narrowly, it would one that contains two triads that are not in the same key. If you are talking about being able to change a chord by lifting or adding a finger, that is not polytonality.
