Can any note in an octave have an enharmonic - such as G-sharp and A-flat B and C-flat and A and B-double-flat etc?

I am guessing so... I've seen something like a key signature having a B-flat, and somewhere in the piece there is a flat in front of a B, so it would be a B-double-flat. If double flats are allowed,then it would be C,B-sharp;C-sharp,D-flat;D, E-double-flat; D-sharp, E-flat; E, F-flat;F,G-double-flat;F-sharp,G-flat;G,A-double-flat;G-sharp,A-flat;A,B-double-flat;and B,C-double-flat.
