Is this sort of thing done?

My last recipe had relatively small amounts of biscuit, flaked corn, caramel, and vienna, and I started to wonder about what would happen if I put these grains in at at 168-170 and then my base grains to strike at 162 or whatever. Would this enhance the character/profile of the smaller grain additions?
 
I like it, if I could hold it.

How does it not make a difference? Mouth feel and sweetness doesn't intermingle with the flavour of the grain at all?
