Yes, it is permitted and it works, but I suspect it may not allow to select into itself and keep it readwrite. Help doesn't mention anything about it, but I guess I will need to change it to csrItems1. I may need to then re-examine all code to fix the references. I'll plan to do it tomorrow - now it's quite late.
