Nope.

For some reason dhcpcd disables itself if it finds something in /etc/network/interfaces,
but it's fine if you move those declarations to another file within the folder /etc/network/interfaces.d.
Of course, you should keep the first line of /etc/network/interfaces therein, that is:

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

Cheers,

Aitor.
