It is preferable not to but if you do make sure that the backerboard is tightly secured all the way to the subfloor under the hardwood. If the backerboard can move at all there is a chance that walking on the tile floor could crack the grout.

if you use backerboard on top of hardwood,it would be a good idea to lay some type of protective material over the hardwood to keep from damaging the surface of the hardwood.
