No they cannot. In biological classification, the family comes after the class. Basically that means that the family is more specific than the class so two animals that are in the same family may not necessarily be in the same class.
Genus. Organisms that are in the same phylum and family may belong to different genera because the family level is more inclusive than the genus level of classification.
Phylum. Organisms in the same class belong to the same phylum, which is a higher taxonomic rank that groups organisms based on shared characteristics.
An example of two organisms in the same class but different orders is a lion (order: Carnivora) and a horse (order: Perissodactyla). Both belong to the class Mammalia, but they are classified under different orders based on their biological characteristics and evolutionary history.
In biology, a phylum is a taxonomic rank that is used to classify organisms with similar body plans. Organisms within the same phylum share certain characteristics and evolutionary history. It is a major category in the classification of living organisms.
Organisms that belong to the same class must also belong to the same phylum. Classes are subdivisions of phyla in the classification hierarchy of organisms.
They will also be in the same domain, kingdom and phylum, but the order, family and/or genus may differ.
Organisms belonging to the same family share the same order, class, phylum, and kingdom. For example, if two organisms are in the same family Felidae (cats), then they would also belong to the order Carnivora, class Mammalia, phylum Chordata, and kingdom Animalia.
Sea squirts are classified in the same phylum (Chordata) as humans.
Genus. Organisms that are in the same phylum and family may belong to different genera because the family level is more inclusive than the genus level of classification.

Two organisms of a family also belong to the same order, class, phylum, and kingdom in the taxonomic classification system.

Yes. "Family" is a more precise designation than "order." The levels, from most general to most specific, are Kingdom -- Phylum -- Class -- Order -- Family -- Genus -- species.
No. If they do not belong to the same class, they can't be in the same order or family. The classification goes: Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
