| Is that possible one interuption (for example #INT_RDA) to interrupt another (for example #INT_RB)? In other words, If an interrupt is active, could it be interrupted? |

Yes and No. First we have to know which model PROCESSOR. Some have High
Priority Interrupts, some do not...

PIC16 no.
PIC18, if you enable 'HIGH_INTS=TRUE' in #device, then you can flag individual interrupt handlers as high priority. A high priority handler can then interrupt a low priority one.
If HIGH_INTS is enabled, INT_EXT,_is always a high priority handler_. So in the example you give, INT_RDA can interrupt INT_RB, but could not interrupt INT_EXT. This is a feature of the hardware - nothing you can do about it.....
PIC24, yes.
Generally though, provided you exit handlers quickly, it is not needed. As soon as you exit one handler, the next will be called. The flag is remembered.
Key though is that you must get out of handlers quickly.....
