Dear Ashish...
Yes, these two positions can exist together. In our organization, we have Executive Director as well as Managing Director too. The company is having 2 plants and Executive Director is working as Plant Head for one plant while Managing Director is the owner of both the companies.
I think, my answer will solve your query.
But more comments from experienced people are still required.
Thanks,

Managing Director - Numero Uno - responsibility is absolute unless there are more than one Managing Director.
Executive Director - Defined, demarcated and designated. He is responsible for what is he designated for.
eg. CMD Anderson , Union Carbide - he was responsible for the Bhopal tragedy as he was CMD of the holding company[ worldwide operations].
An Executive Director - if he is not designated as responsible for the The particular operation he cannot be held re3sponsible
Still he will be only next to the MD in the firing line.
M D can fire an ED , not vice versa.
