well, yes but I belive you are the only ref that does that, most allow you to forego your other actions in order to combo damaging moves with quick moves to preempt an opponent, your way removes this in exchange for energy gain on turns used in the combo(does that mean I can do a combo and normal actions?) however your way also allows for a +4 priority attack so...
edit; protect is +4 priority itself, soo provided poke is faster said combo could preempt protect
