Yes, that is possible, but like I said, it would be a VERY unusual way to implement it.
Essentially because its a hell of lot easier to do a passthru for eSATA instead.
It would be the easier thing to do, but perhaps the designers wanted
to make sure that somebody didn't try to attach via every interface on
the enclosure? Just because they had a cable for every interface,
someone might decide to attach all of them possibly even to a
different computer in some cases. If somebody tried to go via eSATA
and it was a direct passthru, while at the same time being connected
via Firewire and/or USB then there might be data corruption. With
eSATA a part of the same bridge as USB & FW, it can regulate
transactions.
