I agree this thead is very similar to the ones Songster linked, but this is a topic that I don't believe was discussed in any detail. I would probably fix the spelling error in the title for a chance of this sticking around at all.
My answer would be yes they can, but it is not ideal. I suspect most 3-4 night raiding guilds are in situations very similar to what you just described. In many cases the hardcore players are needed to ensure the guild doesn't stagnate.
Unfortunately, it can also be a huge source of frustration for a guild. It is much easier to ask someone to raid less then they want vs. trying to force someone to play more then they can. This is where people make decisions about what is more important, quicker progression or the relationships they have developed within the game. Sometimes the hardcore players will leave, sometimes they stay. I remember trying to push casual players into adding a raid night and it failed miserably.
From personal experience, having everyone on the same page from a progression and time commitment standpoint makes things a lot easier. This doesn't mean that hardcore and casual can't play together.
