Multiple channel entries on the same page?

Question

I'm creating a site that uses a masonry grid layout as the homepage. It's designed in a way that the content is organised semi-randomly (I've chosen the randomness). I have portfolio images, which link to the single entry, showing in various blocks of the grid. My issue is that only the content in the first channel entries tag pair is parsing. For example here, only two entries are being displayed—

{exp:channel:entries channel="projects" limit="2"}
<div class="element">
<a href="{title_permalink='projects/index'}">
<figure class="images"><img src="{project_image:project_thumb}"/></figure>
</a>
</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

some other elements here...

{exp:channel:entries channel="projects" limit="2"}
<div class="element">
<a href="{title_permalink='projects/index'}">
<figure class="images"><img src="{project_image:project_thumb}"/></figure>
</a>
</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Is it possible to have multiple channel entries tags, displaying information from the same channel, on one page?

Thanks in advanced.

Answer 1

I thought it should be possible. Anyway, you should avoid calling the channel entries tag multiple times because it is quite an heavy operation. You could solve it like this:

{exp:channel:entries channel="projects" limit="4" dynamic="off"}
{if count == 3}some other elements here...{/if}
<div class="element">
<a href="{title_permalink='projects/index'}">
<figure class="images"><img src="{project_image:project_thumb}"/></figure>
</a>
</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}
