...

Heh that's a bad question to ask not in PM

Coz it means I have to reply ...

Firstly, the straight answer is 'no'.
That's the answer I give to everyone who asks, except I think probably on fewer occasions than I can count on one hand, over the last few years.
If the inputs are from another pool, then it's pretty much a case of ... yeah right ... why are you even asking?

The basic point is that if we accelerate transactions, we are reducing our rewards.
One or two is no real big deal, but as soon as I say yes, it will become a flood of people who make low fee transactions wanting us to confirm them.
... and since it's a few days between blocks at the moment, it's even more of a loss to confirm low fee transactions since it's the equivalent of applying that low fee transaction to a few days of rewards.

The fix is: don't make low fee transactions ...
