Ummm... why not try it and find out?

[ti@ophelia (pts/2) ~]$ mkdir -p TEST/TEST2
[ti@ophelia (pts/2) ~]$ chmod 770 TEST
[ti@ophelia (pts/2) ~]$ chmod 777 TEST/TEST2
[ti@ophelia (pts/2) ~]$ su - tai
P***word:
[tai@ophelia (pts/2) ~]$ cd ~ti/TEST/TEST2
/home/ti/TEST/TEST2: Permission denied.
[tai@ophelia (pts/2) ~]$ exit
logout
[tai@ophelia (pts/2) ~]$

(I have two accounts on my machine -- "ti" for work, and "tai" for
other.)
