Is it possible to create another GUI from within the callback function of an existing GUI?

Not sure what you mean by this. You can launch a second app by pushing a button - just put the name of the second app in the callback function of your button. The second app could be it's own GUI totally different than the one that launched it.
Or you can have a difference set of controls on your GUI by using the tabbed panel control available now in R2014b. You'll need to upgrade if you want tabbed control and don't have the latest version.
Or you can "create" your own within your first app by having your first app call functions like figure() and uicontrol().

@ImageAnalyst - If your interested have a look at my GUI toolbox for creating GUIs with tabs within an interactive ( guide equivalent ) environment.
@Ipsita - this example shows how to create 2 ( the theory works for multiple ) independent GUIs which can also be seamlessly embedded into a larger single GUI with multiple pages (they could easily have be tabs as the images here show. ).
