Absolutely - I tend to use this syntax a lot (note the braces run the command in the current shell instead of a subshell):
Code:
[[ condition ]] && { blah1; } || { blah2; }

You can easily continue on multiple lines:
Code:
[[ condition && other_condition ]] && {
     everything_looks_good
    } || {
     uh_oh_spaghettios
     print_usage
}
