Glacial deposits

Is it possible to have glacial till overlying fluvio glacial deposits?

From my understanding, the glacier would receed, and the fluvio deposits would be on top of the glacial till. The glaciar may then come back, thus turning the fluvio deposits into glacial till, and depositing more fluvio on top. Repeat for thousands of years, end result fluvio deposits over till. Am I right?
