There are multiple ways of interpreting what you write. Is the "point to point connectivity" between core and distribution just the link? Then you can trunk the same VLAN to that switch and use the same subnet behind that switch. The rest of your network influences whether that is a good idea.

 

But if "point to point connectivity" means that you have a routed link between core and distribution, then you can't use the same subnet on the other side of this link, at least not without additional struggle.

 

Why do you want to use the same subnet? Do you have a roaming path at all between these areas? Perhaps one of the other operating modes are more useful where you don't need the same subnet.
