Yes, there is a difference between complex and compound-complex sentences. A complex sentence is a simple sentence with a subordinant clause in front of it (also known as a fragment). A compound-complex sentence is a compound sentence with a subordinant clause in front of it.
For example:
Complex:
As we ran onto the car, aliens attacked earth.
(as is the subordinant conjunction, and "Aliens attacked Earth" is a complete sentence.)
Compound-complex:
As we ran onto the car, aliens attacked earth, and the military retaliated.
(like te first sentence, as is still the subordinant conjunction, except I've added "The military retaliated", making it a compound-complex sentence. :D
