Hello Luc. Before other answers, I would say "Yes".
But I guess you have to consider the fact, for example, that boxes can 
not interact between each other 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/yade-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00266.html). 
Which may be annoying if you want the walls to behave like real "particles"
