Of course, why not. It's irrelevant how the modal dialog appears 
visually (whether you can still see some of the underlying page, whether 
it's behind a semi-transparent overlay, or whether it covers the entire 
screen). What counts is the intent - is this a completely "new page", or 
is the user in a self-contained little dialog but logically still on the 
main page itself that spawned the dialog?
