Sure, you can.

So far I do not see any objections to that, as long as the gaps in seq...ali are make sense in the context of the str...ali
The only thing I don't understand is that why would you need to do that, when both structures and sequence can happily live in one alignment for the MODELER purposes?
(Advantage of keeping them in one file is to be able to see easily the quality of str-seq alignment in any editor with fixed size fonts)...
My two cents,
