Yes you can. First are there any cracks in the floor? If so you need to put down an anti fracture membrane otherwise the new tile will just crack again. Second use a better quality thinset, one made for difficult bonding like Stonewall or REflex by Hydroment. If you scratch up the old tile a little it cant hurt. Also it will take more time for the thinset to dry and cure because the moisture has less places to go, the old tile or membrane acts like a raincoat so stay off the tile for at least 24 hours, 48 would be better before grouting.
stickandgo.com now produce a self adhesive wall tile that looks like a ceramic tile and it does not need cementing or grouting and can be applied over existing tiles without getting them off the wall !
I know that Stick and Go do over 50 ranges from their website.

Can you tile over wall tiles?
It is best to remove the wall tiles. You need a flat service and a lot of times old tile will not be perfectly flat. If you remove the tiles you will have a good base to tile on. If you don't want to remove the tiles you may be able to add a backer board on top of the old tile and then tile on that.
Can you lay ceramic tiles over vinel tiles?
It is possible but I would not reccomend it. If possible remove the old tile before laying the new tile. If you want to avoid removing the old tile you can lay a cement board over the old tile before installing the new tile.

Can you install tile over wood?
Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. You will regret it later. Tile needs a cement base to adhere to. A wooden base is not good for ceramic tiles. I have seen tile floors where people have tiled over the wood. The tiles are loose, cracked and unlevel. The grout is coming out and water seeps through the floor.
