Yes but ...

(1) If your VI has front panel controls

One way is to make a physical copy with a different NAME. I believe
shortcuts may work. You will need to be careful about sub-VIs tho.

I have also fiddled with function nodes but I am not quite sure if those
will work or not

Finally, the best way of doing this is to get the application builder
option and compile the VI. Once that has happened the VIs become
independent and you should be able to run any number of instances of the
executable.

(2) If your VI does not have front panel controls and you just wish to
use the same sun-VI in multiple VIs or multiple parallel instances in the
same VI, there is an execution option "reentrant" that
will allow this.
