I doubt it very much in the sort of pattern you cited, because those two tenses come from two different temporal viewpoints, but if you give an example, we can make a better assessment of what you're asking and make more specific comments. Nevertheless, without "after": I had seen him later the same day, I think, unless I've forgotten the exact sequence of events.
