No this would require the animation on the inner svg to have a
different timeline than the outer svg (it's time zero would be
different from the outer svg's time zero). Since currently SVG only
allows for one 'time container' (in SMIL parlence), this can't be
allowed so no animation can start before the outermost svg element's
onload event is fired.
