only if faster-than-light travel is impossible. if that is the case then this whole discussion is meaningless.

if you were to walk past me, from my point of view i would be moving faster through time than you and from your point of view you would be moving faster through time than me (although the effects of time dilation at such low velocities are vanishingly small)... thus objects can go faster through time than the surrounding objects.
