I know that child windows can not have menus.

I know that MDI windows are a special case.

Question:
Can you have a parent, non MDI window, then
create a child of that parent and have the child be a MDI Frame window with a menu?

If you mean menu bar:

No, even MDI cannot have system menubar, however you can mimic a menu (bar) creating a hottracked, flat toolbar without icons, and track popup menus.
For example Internet explorer 6 uses toolbar for imitating menu bar.
