Of course.

Start with something like:

      \let\reallatexcleardoublepage\cleardoublepage
      \let\cleardoublepage\clearpage


then reset the value of the pointer using:

      \let\cleardoublepage\reallatexcleardoublepage


Since \let  uses immediate assignment to the *value*
of a pointer (rather than \def which uses deferred
assignment), then this kind of use of \let is
quite straight-forward, and extremely flexible.


Any LaTeX package will just be a wrapper for
this kind of low-level TeX coding.



Hope this helps,
