Is it possible to have a folder with both VM and its hosting compute resource

As I understand a folder managed object controls the type of its children through the childType property. So technically is it possible to have both 'vim.virtualmachine' and 'vim.computeresource' as child types for a single folder?

Ultimately I'm trying to understand if an inventory tree like below is possible.

h1 has vm1

f1 has both h1 and vm1

where f1 is a folder, h1 is a compute resource and vm1 is a vm

Thanks Rags

You can use folder in different inventory view.

But on host and cluster a folder can only contain a datacenter or cluster and hosts.

Only in the VM and template invetory you have more flexibility.
