Yes, its possible and very easy.

  1. Create your table usages so that the master is above the two details.
  2. Be sure the foreign key columns to the master are present in both of the detailed usages.
  3. Click on the links button and draw a link from each of the detail usages to the master usage.

You must have foreign key constraints defined from the detail tables to the master table.
