If you are talking about application layer protocols, yes, this would
be possible to tunnel any protocol inside any other protocol as all the
application layer protocol allow payloads. IF the protocol which is to
be used for tunneling does not permit payloads ( any such protocols? )
then this would not be possible.

Tools and applications to tunnel certain protocols inside some popular
protocols have been developed. You can search the internet for your
specific requirement or else you may have to develop a tool yourself.
Please not such tool will have two parts: one that accomplishes makes
the tunnel and the other one that takes out the tunneled protocol at 
the other end.
