It may be possible (the sockets API will use parts of the raw API
internally for example), but it's not really supported.  You would have
to make sure that you didn't try to access the same connection through
the two APIs, and you'd have to be very careful about ensuring there
weren't two threads active in lwIP at the same time (i.e. you'd have to
synchronise the tcpip_thread with your own application threads, and I'm
not sure this would be easy without modifying lwIP itself).
