  That is one of the things I set out to do when I started writing my compiler
Basic18.  Assembly and Basic code can be intermixed seamlessly.

For example, here is a small Basic program mixing basic and assembly

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Include <libs\18c452.bas>

Sub main()
        Dim a As uByte

        a=10
        movlw 5
        addwf a,F

End Sub

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Compiling this program results in the following assembly file

                        ;Sub MAIN()
MAIN
                        ;Dim A As uByte
                        ;A=10
        movlw   10
        movwf   MAIN@A+0,0
                        ;movlw 5
        movlw    5
                        ;addwf A,F
        addwf   MAIN@A,F,0
                        ;End Sub
        sleep
        Goto    MAIN
        End
