Well sort of. If you give a project a due date, actions within it will behave as if they have that date without actually showing their own due date, yet you can still give them earlier dates if you want to.
In fact you can also give them later dates, but they'll still behave as if they were due on the project due date. I'm not sure that's right - I can see situations where you'd want to complete a project on a given date, yet still have follow up actions due after the main completion, such as "obtain user feedback".

Another way to deal with "post mortem" items is to make the by-project-deadline items into an action group. For example:
Code:
- Attended conference (set to sequential, no due date) - Prepared for conference (due by date of conference) - Tasks to get ready for conference... - ... - Submitted expenses for conference (start date after conference) - From employer, reimbursement for conference Nesting action groups and changing their parallel/sequential status is a powerful way to express dependencies between tasks.
