Yes. I have. Not only did I write 90% of one POV, then 90% of another, I'd sometimes insert a place holder if I was having trouble with a scene in a POV and continue on, coming back to it later. Personally, my mind doesn't seem to like the placeholders, so I come back to them quicker.

On the other hand, I tend to write short stories out of order. I write the beginning, then the end, then connect the two.

This is what rewrites are for. Correcting the ripples and rough spots.
