I presume you mean returning self from a member function:

class C
{
    C foo()
    {
        return this;
    }

    C bar()
    {
        return this;
    }
}

void main()
{
    auto o = new C;
    o.foo().bar();
}

No, you can't return any object from main if the return type is void. You 
may define main as returning int, to communicate the termination status 
of the program to the environment that started it:

int main()
{
    return 0;
}
