Yes; it's essentially what I do in my solution to the No-Connection 
puzzle on Rosetta-code.
( See: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Solve_the_no_connection_puzzle#Ada )

The Idea is that the tasks are fed a list of possible numbers and a 
state (usu. inherited from prior tasks which create them dynamically) -- 
if the given state cannot be a solution, its task simply ends otherwise 
there are two options (1) the state is a complete board [that is, the 
puzzle is solved], OR (2) the task creates a task for every possible 
number which can be in the next position.
