I don't see any reason why not. It can be beneficial to have a single servlet handling all the requests for a given functional area or even an entire application. The design pattern is called 'Front Controller', I believe.

yes, even we can have just one servlet in command pattern as well.
but here its sort of something i couldn't get. may be you tried to say something like,

"sending request from page 1 to Servlet A and gettin response as page 2 and then sending the same response as request from page 2 to servlet A."

I think it likely happens, nothing new as such. did you mean this??
