I am guessing that you mean you are using the same variable in the group break as you are in the filter? If the filter is prompted yes.
The group break value can not be used in the report elements (such as the table widget). So filters within the report elements cannot be placed on variables that are also assigned as the group break values. (You will simply not see group break variables listed in the options for the report elements.)
