You may have the same ip address on multiple interfaces.
I have a following setup:

br1       Link encap:Ethernet
          inet addr:172.16.1.254  Bcast:172.16.1.255  Mask:255.255.254.0
...

lan1      Link encap:Ethernet
          inet addr:172.16.1.254  Bcast:172.16.1.255  Mask:255.255.254.0

...

vpn-bia   Link encap:UNSPEC
          inet addr:172.16.1.254  P-t-P:192.168.10.254  Mask:255.255.255.255
...

In this scenario I have three physical NICs: lan1, wan1, mfl1.
I have also some vlans.

lan1 connected to the local subnet.
br1 consist of vlan100 and vpn1. These are virtual interfaces.
The endpoint of vpn1 is on wan1. vlan100 is on lan1.
vpn-bia is a tunnel over the mfl1 connection.

So it is all working. But you have to have some routing rules.
These are mine:
