not exactly like that. you could make something based on more strict 
rules, like a smart playlist with a rule for tracks not played during 
last two weeks.
then, you can weight the outcome by rating :

as for the scenario you described - that's pretty complicated both by 
logic and possible ui. if that could be done with a very simple ui, it 
might be interesting, but a textbox for user to write sql queries 
probably wouldn't be accepted :)
