Plant grafting

kengrI had occasion to look up nightshade family plants. Quite a list (but not as huge as cruciferous vegeatable!).
Anyway, I got to wondering. Would it be *possible* (not practical, just possible) to graft things so the same plant was producing, say, eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers?
No funny gene stuff, just "grafting".
Also, are there any nightshade family plants that will last more than a year (so you don't have to replant every year)?
And is the answer different for L-America and T-America?

Potatoes will seed themselves so they keep coming up year after year. I don't think the grafts would last though as the above ground part dies back and the plant regrows from the tubers.
